    Hi

    I hope someone can offer some advice. I am a runner and was running 30-50Km a week then stopped for 3weeks and when i attempted to start running again the under of my feet hurt after running for 900m or so. It stops hurting if i stop running and walk but returns again if i continue to run. It feels like the under of my feet are cramping (hurts under the arch and a bit front and back from it). I am flat footed and run in stability shoes. I have covered around 250Km in these shoes without any problems before. Some people have suggested it could be planter fascitis, however i have none of those symptoms...

    I've summaried below.


    where does it hurt - (to the front and back including the arch on both feet)

    how long has it hurt for - hurts when i run, when i stop running and walk slow it stops hurting

    how bad is the pain - The pain is really bad, feels like a bad cramp

    what where you doing when it started - running on the road or treadmill

    what have you done for it so far - nothing

    anything relieve it - walking (stop running)

    what have you been told about it so far - no one seems to know

    is it affecting your ability to work or play sport - yes, fast walking/running

    do you have any other sorts of symptoms - no other symptoms

    what country you are in - South Africa

    If you don't know what the cause could be, then maybe you could suggest which kind of doctor i need to see. (physio, chiro, podiatrist, gp ect....)

    thanks in advance

    A hands-on evaluation is generally essential for diagnosis and treatment on which it might be based. I would think that a podiatrist would be a logical choice of a profession to consult.

    Thanks, thats the best solution presented so far. The reason for the which doctor question was that the last time i had knee pain (ITB) i was referred to a Orthopeadic surgeon (very expensive) who gave me cotisone injections and referred me to a bio kinetist (spelling), who was no help and referred me to a physio who solved the problem. Didn't want to do over that again.

    Thanks again, will report back so anyone else with this problem in the future will have a solution.
