5am, 81F.  I didn't really get any questions answered about my heel yet.  It's now a little worse than it was before my run - pretty much regressed to Friday.  Definitely runnable, but will I make a small injury into a big one by continuing?  Who knows...  We'll see how it feels in 24 hours, I guess, and evaluate it then.  Run was 8:24 pace.

 

Update - 14 hours later it's much better, as good as it's felt in days.  I took ibuprofen and elevated the foot end of my mattress and it is now only very slightly tender to the touch.  Weird.  But also makes me think it's not a stress fracture if quickly feels better like that.  But I'm also pretty sure I don't know what I'm talking about.  Either way I'm probably running in the morning.

Have you gone to a dr yet?

Hope you get everything figured out!

Not yet, kind of waiting to see whether it gets worse or better. Probably not the smart answer, but I'm not a very smart guy.

Your sense of reasoning makes me laugh.

I know you have researched carefully and everything, but are you sure it's not PF? PF can present in the middle of the hill or on either side of it and is definitely tender to the touch(when I had it my hot spot hurt BAD to touch). Is it worse first thing in the morning or after sitting for a while? I wonder, since it's your heel, even if it isn't PF, if taping would help? I hate going to my doctor for my sports injuries because all they tell you to do is elevate it, ice it, take motrin, and quit running. I'm stubborn and probably not too smart either but unless an x-ray says it's a stress fracture I will run on any injury that doesn't alter my gait too bad. What kind of resources do you have over there to get it medically checked out? I also realize that you are on your feet a lot at work and that could be exacerbating things.

Hmm, you know it is on the foot that had some minor PF recently. I didn't know it could show up on the sides like that. But it seems to do better after rest and get worse with increased activity, which is opposite of PF. Guess we'll just see how it goes day-to-day. Thanks for the info, I really appreciate your input.
