Pain on the side of the foot... peroneal tendenitis?

guest — Thu, 21 Jun 2012 09:10:53 GMT

Hello everybody...

so, in the last few days i have been experiencing pain in my right foot, on the outer edge of the foot (about an inch lower and further in front from that bone that sticks out of the ankle). it started out a few days ago, but it only lasted about half an hour and than went away. yesterday it got worse, and now i feel it everytime i walk or run. it doesn't hurt when i step on it, but rather when i push of the leg. it also hurts slightly if i apply pressure to it... it does not restrict my motion in any way, it just hurts. i haven't had any injuries in months, especially not ankle/foot injuries.

the pain first occoured during running. i jog about 4 times per week for the past 6 weeks (anywhere between 3 and 7 miles, increasing the milage every week, training for my first marathon in september), and occasionally i go cycling (once a week or so...). i don't do any other sports at the moment (i gave up karate 4 months ago). it doesn't matter if i wear shoes and walk around barefoor, the pain will be the same.

after some research, i concluded that stress fracture or an injury of peroneal tendent are most likely. my running shoes are mizuno wave nexus 6. i heard shoes with much support can be problematic as well. i don't have experience with similar injuries. If anyone had any similar problems, please share how do i cure it? should i give up running for a few weeks? any sort of feedback is appreciated ˆˆ

(and sorry for my bad english)
