It was a gradual onset that I would notice when walking or running. The pain would be experienced around the area of the 3rd-5th toe. Typically it would be most severe for the first 1/4 to 1/2 mile, ease up through 1/2 to 2.5 miles, and then start being painful again the last 1/2 mile. On two occasions it was so painful, I he’d to call my wife to come pick me up. After seeing the podiatrist I went to a FeetFleet for running shoe fitting. A wider shoe and a shoe with wider toe box, didn’t really help. Since it seemed that wearing socks aggravated it, I experimented and went sockless or barefoot for three weeks, which seemed to help. I then tried a bike ride with my bike shoes on and thought that I had a stress fracture. That was last week and since then I’ve gone back to sockless and barefoot as much as possible. I have an appointment again tomorrow with sports medicine. For activity, I weight train, road bike, and walk 10k steps daily. Interestingly enough, on leg training day, calf raises aren’t comfortable . I’m maintaining as far as calories. I’m in good health and get adequate rest.

@James Johnson I would say that around that time. I purposefully began tracking step count and aimed for 10k plus steps per day. I would add that the pain is a burning type primarily between 4 and 5th toe. I’m wondering if inflammation is centered around a nerve as I also periodically have some numbness in that area as well.

@James Johnson where is the help category?

@James Johnson ok thanks!
