ATTQOTD: I have been fortunate to be mostly injury-free in the past few years. I had some foot pain during marathon training last winter that required about 5 days off, ice and new shoes. In my previous running life (2010), I did have a stress fracture.
With that said, I currently have really bad pain on the back of my heel. It is not on the bottom of my foot as plantar fasciitis usually is, it's on the back of my heel. Today is day #5 and I'm debating if a visit to the doctor is worth it. The longer I'm on it, the better it feels, so I'm still able to go for a walk, but getting up from sitting is so painful.
I don't want to "waste" a trip to the doctor to be told to "rest and ice," ya know?
