CityMouse, like I said I had a stress fracture several years ago and as I recall it was a frustrating experience because I couldn't do a lot of things for a while. I went to the doctor pretty early but I still sort of tried to act like the problem didn't exist at first. I kept saying, I don't have time for this shit! Eventually I just had to take care of my foot because it hurt too much otherwise. Then somebody even loaned me a cane to help me walk more easily. Even though I felt kind of stoo-pid using it, it really helped and I could walk a lot faster. But it was sort of like holding a sign that said "Ask Me What's Wrong With My Foot"! Also for about a year after it healed it was really good at forecasting rainy weather. :rolleyes:

But I know you'll take care of your foot. If it's hurting, you can't help but want it to get better so you'll do what you need to do.

yeah I'm sure I'll end up doing the right thing .

it's hard to describe other than it's on the outside side of the foot (I walk/run on the outside), and sort of on the bottom, but I'm not really sure about that part.

i thought it might be Plantar fasciitis but if there is no heel pain then it could be a stress fracture or pulled tendons and ligaments

pulled tendons or ligaments was what I originally suspected. I'm still hoping for that. fingers crossed!!!

Fuck, I'm suffering from a combination of all those things right now. Stupid left foot pissing me off. Maybe I should have started a thread...

Or you could just put it in the thread titled "What did not make my day".
A place where 1/2 of the threads on the aet could be.

Only if we can retitle that thread to "Bitch and Moan Ad Nauseum."

sorry, I thought stress fractures were a pretty common problem that people may have had experience with. I just wanted to see how long it took other people to heal/how long they had to rest and stuff. sorry.

Never apologize to me. I don't need or want it and besides I was just joking. Actually, I was curious to read responses as well. I have already been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis and it is an absolute bitch when flaring up. Since I last played basketball a couple of weeks ago, I've been noticing different issues and I'm thinking it has to be a stress fracture as I haven't rolled my ankle or anything recently. Maybe it's arthritis is my tendons/ligaments from the billion times I did massively sprain my ankle. Anyway, I know I have to go to the Dr., I'm just putting it off. Typically, I'd rather die than go to the fuckin doctor.

It took me about 2 months to heal. At least that was the point when the doctor told me the fracture had healed. I said "But it still hurts!" He said "Well it will probably hurt for at least another month but the fracture has healed." I guess that's why he went to medical school and I didn't. :rolleyes:

BTW his prediction was accurate. He also told me about it aching whenever it rained. I know I'm giving you a lot to look forward to. Sorry about that.
