I used to enjoy my running but after a long run in late November I must have injured my forefoot, I think it seems like a stress fracture but I can't be sure and 2 of my toes are pointing in queer directions, so I think they broke at the same time and have set awkwardly. I have just made a doctors appointment to get it sorted as walking is extremely painful even now. _________________ Big wheels keep on turning, Carry me home to see my kin..............

Like you, I have had my fair share of injuries, mostly picked up from my martial arts training, but things have always come right in the end without the need for medical intervention, but this stress fracture is just not having it, being in a job where I am on my feet for 13 -14 hour shifts doesn't help up much either I suppose _________________ Big wheels keep on turning, Carry me home to see my kin..............

I used to dabble. Karate (Wado-kai, shotokan), aikido and Kickboxing to name them all. _________________ Heaven kicked me out and Hell was too afraid I'd take over!! Fighting back since 1975!!
