re: OT Runners: help me diagnose a foot ailment

I have pain in the same area. But it's not a sharp pain and it rarely ever happens during the run. It's afterwards or the next mroning. And it's just a soreness. Nothing overly painful. But I was concerned about a stress fracture since it wasn't going away.
Went to a sports medicine place and was given anti inflammatory medicine. Told it was likely a "stress reaction", or tendinitis. Took the meds and it was gone nearly instantly, so I pretty sure it's just tendinitis. But it keeps coming back.
I ran in Newtons for several months before it started. Switched to Altras and had a few weeks with no issues, but it's back again. I rub a topical anti inflammatory liquid on it to keep it under control easily, but trying to work on my foot strike to make sure I'm not putting to much stress on that part of my foot. Trying to hit more mid foot than forefoot.

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.
