Glad to hear that it's not just me!

I didn't even think to look for it! Duh! I'm icing it at my desk right now- I'll check it out when it warms up. It feels like the fat pad shifted when I landed on that heel, and I caught the edge of the heel bone somehow.

Is it better to wear shoes around the house (which seem to encourage heel striking for me), or is barefoot better, if only because I'm less apt to heel strike when there's no cushioning? I don't want to make it worse!
