Fed up!

It's now been almost a week since my last run as I haven't been able to put weight on my foot , after it completely ballooning up and hurting so much all week I went for an X-ray today and no fracture phew , just a sprain, an awful one at that 😞 my Nike trainers felt like they were doing the trick but I think now approaching week 5 I really need to get some good sturdy supportive ones, so where is best for gait analysis please guys???

My foot at some stage exploded to epic levels due to poor shoes.

Google gait analysis in your area, we don't know where you are, and whatever you do, do not run through pain even when the flare up is gone. I did, and l paid. Don't pay for what l did. Not worth that hustle..

A specialist sports shop should be able to sort you out , thats where i got mine done . Good luck 👍

If you have a Grade II sprain you don't want to be even thinking about running for at least 8 weeks though.

and obvs do not do gait analysis until all swelling is gone and you are cleared to run on the foot or the analysis will be meaningless
