Same symptoms. Turned out to be extensor tendonitis. I did have to take some time off, RICE, and when I resumed I KT-taped it following these instructions: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=By5ztNxwgYY<br />I still (9 months later) have to make sure I wear my shoes very loose - I can literally slip them off and on like slippers - to keep the tendonitis from flaring up. It leads to more black toenails, but at least my foot feels fine!<br />PS: I had to take 1 month off, but some of that was due to the fact that I continued running on my foot waaay after I should have quit and kept trying to come back too soon. I finally healed when I stopped running completely for 3 weeks and then restarted very slowly. If this turns out to be your problem, just remember that this is something you simply cannot run through. It is also something totally recoverable!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11899718000434966098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993815500672701308.post-62152382417207128682013-10-08T18:57:38.512-06:002013-10-08T18:57:38.512-06:00I am SO sorry you have to go through this!
