re: OT Runners: help me diagnose a foot ailment

That sounds like peroneal tendonitis as well. A big part is finding particular shoes that work for you.
Newtons and altras are both good shoes, however I have tried them and just couldn't get into them. There are almost no shoes that will provide the support and stability that a good OTC or even more so prescription orthotic will.
Also, the problem with changing your gait instead of addressing the problem is that it can lead to other problems. You will probably end up precipitating plantar fasciitis.

Well I'm kinda buzzed and feel like answering foot questions now.
Dr. GEAUXT will see you know

Dr. Geauxt, I have pain on the plantar aspect of my 2nd metatarsal head at times when running. Feels like fluid. More of a discomfort. Any ideas?

Could be a neuroma. Get it injected!

I didn't think neuromas happened at the 2nd. They normally occur at the 4th. It goes away with some rest.

You are correct, neuromas are not as common in that area.
More likely it is a capsulitis, or what is called "predislocation syndrome"
It usually occurs with a longer 2nd metatarsal or shorter 1st metatarsal.
I've got two simple remedies to try...
1. Try taping the 2nd toe down. This will take load off the joint
2. Try a metatarsal head pad or an orthotic that is not full length and stops just before the ball of the foot. This will offload the metatarsal heads and reduce strain on the joint

Also, try and avoid very flexible shoes and any squatting on the ball of your foot

Thanks doc. When I walk normally, it feels like my toes don't touch the ground, and I think I'm loading on the metatarsals when I run. The insoles make sense.

My pleasure.
If you toes are not purchasing the ground then that retrograde force will force the metatarsal heads to plantarflex predisposing you to capsulitis and joint pain
I'd definitely recommend a good 3/4 length insole (Spenco is a really good brand)

Bruh, this is forefoot stuff...not an ankle fx. Leave it to the experts
And I hate weils. Give me a partial met head resection all day

He's a podiatrist too and my padnuh. He just likes to be a dick
Posted on 1/28/17 at 8:47 pm to GEAUXT
Or bypass orthotics and get some Altras, Hokas,etc and see if that helps. I love the forefoot on the Altras!
Posted on 1/28/17 at 8:53 pm to GEAUXT
Haha. Gotcha. Didn't realize podiatrists were so prevalent on TD.

I'd really like to hear your explanation of ankle/foot mechanics during running. At what point in the gait cycle of running would the peroneals be resisting inversion of the foot/ankle?
