Last summer I either had a plantar fascia tear - or a sudden onset of plantar fasciitis whilst out running. After 8 months of icing, stretching etc. I started running again gradually - but after a few weeks developed pain in my 2nd and 3rd toes, and the top and bottom of the forefoot. I wonder if this was caused by too much stretching (I had some quite vigorous sports massage on my foot). Is it possible that I've inflicted damage by stretching? I'm hoping this isn't morton's neuroma.
Bad luck Sharon. My son ruptured his achilles skiing a couple of years ago. The good news is that you WILL run again (he's doing London marathon this year) - but you need to stay really positive and be patient. It took 6 months before he was back to running properly again.
There are different views on when to start weight bearing and doing exercises. I guess you have to be guided by your doctor - and there's loads of info if you google.
