Red Cross (Injured Souls) Thread

[Selkie]

I had been wearing VFFs, just around the house and not for running. Last summer, running in VFFs and not being attentive to tight calves brought on ankle tendonitis & what I now suspect was PF in my now-uninjured foot/lower leg. I'm not anti-barefoot--just not sure it's the answer in my case--and I appreciate hearing about what helped you. :-)

It's probably a matter of your personal biomechanics (I have body alignment issues, a functionally short right leg, and am noticeably stronger on my right side). The superfeet inserts have helped a lot, as has the icing, stretching, and Strassburg sock. Yesterday was the first day in a week when I didn't want to chop off my right foot, walking to my car after work (it's a decent schlep, since I don't rate a reserved space!).

We'll see what the PT says today.
