Sore Foot!

[Loudwhistle]

For some reason on Saturday night during a GV game my foot started to ache. The pain comes from right where I roll up on my toe joints on the bottom part of the right foot. Sometimes the pain radiates out and up my outside ankle each time I complete my normal walking stride. (Doesn't feel any better when I run on it either!) If I walk slow, then the pain is hardly noticable. I had to take 4 Ibuprofen a day for three days and today I can work normal without a limp and there is just a slight reminder of where the pain was coming from. I'm using the same shoes I've had all season and nothing has changed in my routine since about January. I did three games on Friday and the same for Saturday. That is about normal for a weekend for me. Any suggestions on what it might be? (I'm 43, 165 pounds and very active, at least outside the house!) Thanks.

Go see a doctor if it persists.

Guy in our association had something that sounds similar. Doc said it was a build up of Uric acid in joints in foot. Something similar to - but not gout. He was given a prescription - and within 10 days back to normal. That was in December. We haven't heard him complain since.
