What a pain in the foot!
I’m having an issue with my left foot for 6 months and continues to be aggravating. It has been diagnosed by a sports medicine physician I see as metatarsalgia and by a podiatrist I saw as a neuroma. X-rays and MRI were both negative. I have had two steroid injections that weren’t helpful. I have iced, massaged, rolled my foot on PVC pipe, and done other exercises. Anyone have any thoughts as to what it might be and what I. Old do to help it? Thanks

Do you want the long answer or a short answer?

@John Conklin it’s easy with any even low amounts of inflammation in a small area of the foot to cause nerve like symptoms as well. And introduction of new loading can be a trigger for starting of symptoms as you’ve described

@James Johnson yeah it quite literally changes how our system assesses and handles actual or perceived threats and our reactions when it sounds the alarm
How does exercise impact pain?
Just curious and wanted to see your thoughts and opinions on and reflections related to this. In what ways do you view exercise has impacted how you approach having pain? Has having an injury or chronic pains impacted you and your training? And what do you think contributes to pain improving?

@Jenn C yeah all really good points. It’s also been interesting to see how in research several things show up consistently about exercise long term mitigating factors that result in higher pain intensities and frequent flare ups

@John Thurman yeah a lot of it is how we percieve and interpret pain. It is very complex and hard to explain in a short time period all the ways pain comes about. It’s so great to see people having a positive relationship with exercise
Supplements
Let’s dig into this at some point. Area where I’m basically guessing. What supplements are people routinely incorporating into their daily routine? Probably lots of branches on this tree.

Vitamin D, creatine, pre workout, magnesium and melatonin
Intro as the Chief Science Officer
Hey everyone. If you don’t know me, myself and James have worked together under ATP in the past. I was formerly and am now joining the team again as the Chief Science Officer. I am currently in an Outpatient setting he sees a wide array of orthopedic conditions, and provide education and mentoring for our younger clinicians I have worked for world renowned powerlifting group The Strength Guys as an injury consultant working with dozens of national, and international level powerlifters. I have taught courses within the USA and internationally about applications of strength and hypertrophy principles for rehab and about lower back pain and the biopsychosocial model. Notably giving lectures for North Dakota state University, University of Del Rosa Columbia, University of Oxford (England), and THE Ohio State University, as well as in Austria and Prague at some of their bigger sports clinics and powerlifting gyms I gained most of my reputation for posting memes on social media but having them related to very in depth information on rehab, injury, and concepts around human physiology as it relates to those topics as well as training. Formerly I have run a research review under ATP, as well as done collaborations with several researchers in exercise physiology and the rehab space. Happy to be here to help the team grow and learn
