metatarsalgia- any words of wisdom?

[Nomagicday]

Hi there! I've been running for a few months and have developed this pain- I have a half marathon in 2 weeks :( has anyone had it- any advice?? I'm in agony.
Thanks.

Get thee to a chiropodist.

From what he/she tells you, get to a doctor for a referral.

In the meantime, try something from here.

Try ball of foot cushioning under foot care.

My mum in law has what she terms 'a tadpole' basically a little t-bar shaped piece of cushioning that fits between two toes. She said it's the only thing that's helped. That and I would imagine rest and ice... I second the chiropodist!
