Well, I went to see the podiatrist yesterday, I asked him to take another look at the area to see if he can spot anything unusual and that exactly what he spotted. Here's the problem, my second toe is the same length as my big toe, this causes the toe to collapse and then lowers the 2nd metatarsal ...

I have looked into the possibility of Morton's Neuroma and I don't think that is the cause of the problems, I think the problem I have is most likely "2nd metatarsal overload syndrome", this website shows a picture of the exact place I am receiving this pain. http://www.northcoastfootcare.com ...

Thank you for your replies everyone, I know coming here would make me stronger again, I guess you could say I had a weak moment, but I'm not going to give up, this is what I want to do more than anything else!

anglo-saxon, When I go running, I don't feel the pain right away, it will take about two ...

Yes, it is the same pain, it is a pain in the right foot on the Metatarsal bone (right next to the largest metatarsal head)

I have been to see an Osteopath, x2 Podiatrists, Doctors and a Private sports injury clinic, I have been to them all multiple times, I have had x2 new pairs of running ...

I know what you mean, I've tried to avoid saying "Fail" "Can't" and "Never" for so long, but when you think about it, I can run my 1.5 mile in around 11mins at this moment, It would be a shame to waste my one of my two tries at the Royal Marines (I do believe they only allow you to try for the PRMC ...

Thank you for your reply, although I should emphasize that I have Not done my PRMC and my "Training" for the Royal Marines is just getting my fitness up the the PRMC entry standards, Once I get my 1.5 mile time to 9 mins, I will try, but as I am now, I would fail without a doubt.

Hello, my name is Joe and I am from Lancashire, for the past 12 months I have been training for the Royal Marine Commando's, I have already taken and passed everything that leads up the the PRMC, my original PRMC date was going to be the 25th of February but I had to cancel that date because I ...

PB is Personal Best right?

Correct.

It's true, they can give you a boost and enhance your performance temporarily. The last time I took some Red Bull was when I was on my RMAD, I thought it would be a good idea to take a few cans for me to drink during lunch, but the only thing it did for me was make me feel bloated and full of gas ...

Yes, It's true! I went from a maximum of 30 to 50 in 6 days! I've been stuck at 30 press ups for about 3 months now and I just couldn't push past it, I was doing about 5 sets till failure everyday (except Sunday) and it was really getting me down that I wasn't getting any better.

So I started to ...

Well, I went to my local podiatrist yesterday and I was recommended to use sorbathane insoles :P I went out running today (with the new insoles) and although I couldn't feel the pain in my metatarsal when running, I could feel it afterwards when I pressed in that area, I really do hope that the pain ...

Thank you for all the replies, I'll get myself a pair of those insoles as soon as I get the chance. I called the Marines office today to make 100% sure that I would be allowed to wear them during training and he said it's fine, so that's good to know. :D I just hope that they can find and fix the ...

Thank you both for your replies, I have booked an appointment to go and see a podiatrist next Tuesday, hopefully they will be able to find and correct any problems there may be.

Would anyone happen to know how long it would take for someone to recover from Metatarsalgia?

Thanks.

I've developed a foot injury called Metatarsalgia and it makes running very painful. One way I could describe the pain is if I am running bare foot on pebbles.

I went to see a physiotherapist about the pain in my foot, she noticed that the muscles in my lower leg were very tight and didn't give ...

Hey all, I finally got my date for my PRMC, it's on the 26th of February. I feel like I've been waiting for this day for ages and it's finally here! Is anyone else attending on the same date?
