About 6 months ago i developed what assume was a cyst on the top of my right foot between my fourth toe and ankle. This area was sensitive to the touch and became progressively more painful. Eventually this problem was exacerbated by an additional pain that was centered on the side of my foot between my big toe and ankle that felt like a tendon or a ligament had tightened up to the point where it felt like a constant painful cramp. The pain in these two areas became so intense that I couldn't put any pressure on my foot when I first got out of bed until I limped around for a couple of minutes. I believe the problem originated as a result of beginning long (300 mile +) drives 4-6 times/month with my foot in constant pressure against the gas pedal. Additionally I increased my running routine from about 10 miles/week to 20 during this time . I tried all the home remedies (rest, ice, heat, elevation, wraps, ibuprophin), but nothing worked. I finally stopped running all together about a month ago and began using cruise control on my long drives which continue to this day. i went to see an orthopedic specialist who confirmed no bone fracture via x-ray. He prescribed an orthodic insert for my shoe, but that only made the pain on the side of my foot so intense that I could barely walk after a week. I went to another Orthopedic specialist who had an MRI done, and that confirmed no existing or prior fracture. But he saw some evidence
