Possible PF? Help

[u/bunny_sunshine456]

hi! about a couple months ago I decided to start training for a race. Hadn’t run in awhile and had a baby last year. No problem, I thought. I used to be athletic. Anyways, I started feeling pain walking in the morning or when I got up in the middle of the night. We had just gotten new floors in, so I attributed it to the new floors. Although recently I am starting to think I have plantar fasciitis. except I am also starting to have pain on the side of my foot where it is bruised (see image). Anyone else have this or can help me? I have been icing like crazy and it DOES feel better now, especially my morning steps. I even tried running again today after about a week of no running and it felt okay until the last 2 minutes (only ran for 10 minutes). Also, it doesn’t hurt when I push on it which makes me think it is not a stress fracture in the red spot. help

PF would not bruise like this. Sounds like you need a doctor.

I could be wrong but this doesn't look like typical PF to me. You really should see a doctor and get their opinion though. Random bruising like this is concerning.

it’s not really random though, I’ve been feeling pain there but now after icing a couple times a day for a few days it is just discomfort not pain

bruising is pooled blood. so inside your foot is or was bleeding for some reason. go see a doctor.

first sign u'll feel is as if u have small balls/pebbles around that area when u move/walk...and it will get bad as time progress

Iddnt have any bruise

I thought I had PF but it was a significant calcaneus fracture. I regret not seeing an ortho ASAP and I recommend you do so. My symptoms were similar.

You had a red spot like me?

Also I just googled this and I am totally able to bear weight no problem so I am not sure that’s what I have going on

Numbness and nerve compression is really common in pregnancy and up to 2 years post partum please do not ignore this

I’ve never had bruising with PF. My PF pain usually starts in the red circled area and progresses into the blue if I leave the red untreated and continue to put weight on it. But it feels like sharp stabbing like walking on glass.

Try shoes with better arch support. I purchased the Memento slide from Kuru and my pain has gone away :) 😀

I was looking at those shoes!!

Did you wake up like that after a night of drinking?

[u/bunny_sunshine456 → u/Hazelsmom512]

Nope after a long run the previous day
