Pain in the foot

I missed all 100 of my push ups yesterday – I kept pushing them off yesterday due to foot/heel pain and I was cozy in bed after taking a tylenol PM before I remember that I never did them. We’ll see how today goes. 

This brings me to my foot/feet. Last Monday I was back to the podiatrist for another cortisone shot for my PF (on my right foot). But also to talk about some pain on my OTHER (left) foot – on the top by my little toes. 

He believes the issue on my left foot may be a result of over compensating. He diagnosed me as having Morton’s Neuroma and Capsulitis Tendinitis. He gave me an oral steroid (which I have opted to not take just yet) since that inflammation has calmed down significantly, however the cortisone shot which worked like a charm in January and still not eliminated my heel pain. I haven’t run at all since last Sunday, but this weekend I was gardening as part of a community service project and then was jumping around at a concert – which has left my right heel in agony. I iced it last night, but my walk to my office from the parking deck (.20 miles) was really painful this morning. 

I have a 10 miler on the 24th which I still have plans to run and then would like to cut down dramatically on my running. 

I may start the oral steroid this week…even though I generally anti meds, but I feel like in this case it is necessary.
