My knee pulled up fine with some rest however my foot is a different story. It remained sore even with a strict routine of NSAID's, including Anti Inflam gel and icing. By Wednesday morning it was feeling pretty good and decided try jogging. Not at a cracking pace and no more than 200 -300 metres however I didn't even get that far. It began hurting just as much as the weekend so back to square one.
I consulted the Doc at work and he said that I am doing everything right bar the small jog. He told me to remain doing what I was and come back on Monday if the pain didn't improve.
Monday, today I arrived back at the Docs after some poking and prodding he located the spot of discomfort and gave me 3 injections of cortisone. As this is administered with a local it felt fabulous until about an hour later when it felt worse than ever.
I am off for another week and should notice an improvement in 12-72 hrs. If not another injection next week "should" fix it up.
Below is a pic of a foot, the area around the cuboid and the tarsal-metatarsal joint is the area that is causing the grief. There is a tendon that runs over that region which I am thinking is causing the issue.

Hang in there Shane, I know it's a bummer, but what can you do. I'm feeling for ya.
Gees, that's not good. But you seem to be getting max treatment - 3 shots of cortisone!
Fingers crossed it fixes things.
PS I think I'm too young to be falling apart so you definitely are ... too young that is, not falling apart :)
My fingers are crossed for you Shane. Don't know about you but I'd be more than happy to resign from membership of the "too young to be injured all the time" club!
Take care !
Tesso's right - you're too young to be falling apart. Hope the week off does the trick.
I think the on/off nature of your training could be the problem. You need some consistant weeks and months to build some strength.
Sorry to hear your foot is playing up. Let's hope the injections have done the trick and you're soon back on the road. In the meantime, take care of it.
