Intermittent foot pain

[Frissels]

I keep getting pain on the top of my foot. I can stand on it without pain, but it hurts to point or flex my toes. Running seems to make it worse. Any ideas to prevent it and/or to make it get better quicker?

Does this help at all??

Most of us are not medically qualified and it would be against the guidance of the HealthUnlocked platform to offer medical advice, so an appointment with a physio or podiatrist might be helpful.

Feet swell when you run, so maybe experimenting with lacing of shoes would be worthwhile. This is one of many internet sites showing alternative lacing healthunlocked.com/api/redi...

How much distance and pace work do you do?

What happens if you don't run for a week?

In my official capacity as an unqualified random stranger on an internet forum 😉, I'd suggest you check you're not lacing your shoes too tight, just in case it's that simple. If the pain persists, please do get professional advice.

And try to make sure the heel is sitting correctly at the back of the shoe before you do up the laces.
