Neither the PT nor the MT have looked at my foot or done any therapy on it. It's been a gradually growing problem that has suddenly reached a boiling point. I believe that the left orthotic has too high a bump under the metatarsal pad (right jargon?) and it's pushing my foot up too high so it's been rubbing on my shoe and/or putting it in an unnatural postion when I run. I tried to loosen the shoe but it didn't help much. Now it just feels kind of bruised and on the verge of being a stress fracture (had one before so I know the feeling).

The left orthotic was always felt a bit off and I've mentioned this to the orthotic girl a couple of times. She did one adjustment and then sent me off to the PT for my shins before she did anything else. I talked to her yesterday and said it was suddenly much worse so she told me to take them out until I can get in to see her. She'll make another adjustment and then recast the foot if necessary.

I am cranky today. Tired anyway. Missed my swim. And if you've read the OT:A, had big issues with the stupid eye surgery place.... I need a glass of wine.
