A few Weeks ago I got some new shoes because my old ones were blown out. I had run too much on them and the outside support on my left shoe was gone. It was like smacking concrete. I didn't realize what was going on at first, but when I had to stop after 5 miles because of the pain, I knew something was up.
I have gone through a number of things trying to figure out what it is. Plantar Fasciitis? A deep bruise from running with no cushioning? Achilles tendiniitis? They could all be culprits. I have been having pain in my lower calves for along time, and when I was stretching recently I could really feel a pull in my Achilles tendon down near my heel. Beneath my heel it feels fine, so I don't think it is Plantar Fasciitis.
I have been using the RICE method to heal up. Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevate. With more emphasis on the resting and the compression. I think it would be worthwhile to see my accupunturist, Andreas, just to loosen thing up some. I'll post more as things come up.
