I am a marathon runner - I have properly fitting shoes that do not need replacing. I have not had any crazy increases in mileage or speed - just conservative training. I am prone to tendonitis but it usually presents itself along the outside of my foot toward the 5th metatarsal. This week, after a long run, the base of my 2nd and 3rd toes hurt on the bottom of the foot. It's difficult to determine which toe is more affected. It is worst in the morning when I wake up but seems to dissipate throughout the day. I have taken a few days off to rest, trying to stay off the foot. There does not seem to be any bruising or swelling. When I move the toes around, the pain does not worsen unless I pull back on the third toe - then th pain seems to radiate back into the ball of the foot. I need to get back on the road as soon as possible...help!
