Foot Injury (Neuroma)


So I went to the foot doctor last week because of a pain I've been feeling. It all started a month ago when I stepped on a stump during a run. I felt this pain on the bottom of my foot for two weeks. After that the pain ended up transferring to the top of my foot, between my 1st and 2nd toe. 
The doctor wasn't 100% sure that was it but we will find out. The doctor was almost insistent that she give me a shot on the foot to numb the pain. What I didn't tell her was that I'm afraid of needles. I ended up talking her into letting me take ibuprofen instead. It worked! I've rested my foot since last week and it is now starting to feel better. Still sore but time will tell. I'm hoping that this pain subsides so I can start running.
