About a month or so back, I was walking on the treadmill (at the speed of 3.2 an a little bit of an incline (around 2.0)) after about 40 minutes in, I felt a little pain on the top right side (closer to where my leg starts) of my right foot. I didn't think much of it and kept walking for 20 more mins. When I got off the treadmill, I realized the same spot hurt a lot worst when I put pressure on it. If I wore heals it didn't hurt as much but as soon as I went bare foot or wore flats it hurt a lot. I kept weight off the foot for 2 - 3 days and it got better in about a week. Two weeks later I go back to the gym, I was walking slower this time at no incline and in about 20 minutes I feel a little pain so I stopped. This time the pain didn't last long since I had stopped before it got worst. I give it about 2 more weeks to heal and I went back to the yesterday, I walked for an hour and it seemed fine until I was on my way home (walking for about a block) when I felt the pain again. At this point I am too afraid to go back to the gym. When this happened for the first time, I had gone back to the gym after a month or so of almost no exercise . I am 26 years old (female) and must be like 5-10 pounds above the 'normal' weight for my body type. Is this happening because of my weight or because I haven't been exercising regularly in the past 3-4 months? Any idea what the foot condition is and the best way to get it back to normal?
