minnie Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Hi, this lump has appeared suddenly on the arch of my foot just past the heel. I've just finished week 8. Had a similar problem before on both feet and doctor was puzzled by it. Running in good shoes, gait checked, could it just be time to change them? Really don't want to give up at this stage!!!!!!

SteveJ Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Hi Minnie - it might be worth checking with a podiatrist (no one here will be able to give you any kind of diagnosis) - I have a planters fibroma on my left foot (it'll never go away without surgery) and my podiatrist has me wear orthotics in my shoes now (I run in them as well). The orthotics offer support so the condition won't become more painful or worsen. But, like I said, it might be best to check with a specialist.

Guest TrishE Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 It could possibly be a heel spur. I do agree that you should see a doctor but heel spurs are pretty common among runners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
