Lateral foot pain
I ran the Disney marathon almost two weeks ago and while I finished with the usual aches and pains that went away after a couple of days, I still have a nagging pain in my foot. The bottom of my feet were hurting during the race and I put that down to foot-strike pain but that doesn't feel anything like what I am experiencing now. When walking/running, my foot hurts on the lateral (outside) side of my right foot about a third of the way towards my toes heading away from the heel (just posterior to the bony bit that sticks out). When palpating though, the pain is on the side of my foot and I have a bit of swelling and tenderness that has been there ever since the marathon. Any ideas as to what it might be?
