i have been having issues with my left foot/ankle over the course of the last couple of weeks. at first i thought it was PF, because it was mostly on the bottom of my heel. but since then, i have been having pain in my ankle, both in the back and front, and in the top of my foot along the outside. if it were just PF, i could still run and the pain would not be too bad. however, after every run (and during some of them), i have been having increased pain. so, i decided to rest this week...i am a bit depressed about this decision. and i am starting to get twitchy. this is the longest i have gone without running in a long time...last run was on tuesday. i am going to call my podiatrist on monday and try to get in to have some x-rays done to be sure it's nothing serious. i am really hoping that just a bit of rest is all i need. running helps keep the depression at bay and without it, i can feel it starting to try to push it's way back into my life.
i want to try to find something to do to keep on keeping on, but anything that puts pressure on my foot is out. even push ups.... any suggestions?
