Why I didn't work out today

History for you. I don't know that this has anything to do with anything but here it is. I had this bump on the bottom of my foot. I've been told it's a corn or a plantar wart. I've had it cut off and frozen but it comes back. I went to a podiatrist in 2002 and he did an Xray and said that one of my bones was poking down and that I needed to wear a foot insert to push those bones up. Okay.

About 10 yrs ago, opposite foot, my ex husband sat a chair down on my foot and his 220 lbs was grinding the chair in my foot. I went to the dr. after that weekend and was told I had a contusion. Life goes on.

About 8 weeks ago my husband and I were wrestling in the yard and he somehow hurt my foot. Not sure if he was pushing me and I had foot planted or if he stepped on my foot or what. It felt JUST like the contusion I had way back when. I assumed that's what it was. I could walk, foot wasn't bruised or swollen. It just hurts--a dull pain--in between my third and 4th toes, just below the last knuckle. Doesn't matter if I am standing on it or sitting--still hurts. Of course it's worse if I move the foot, but the point is that it aches even if I am sitting still. Last week I wore my flat converse because I thought my heals were aggravating it. This weekend I was sitting at the computer with me feet propped up on a big plastic container. My foot was flexed. Yeah, STILL hurts. (This is the right foot, the one I started off telling you about)


I am going to the dr. tomorrow. I don't know whats wrong with it, but I know that it shouldn't hurt like this 8 weeks later. To be honest I am scared to death that I somehow fractured it and she's going to put me in a cast to stabilize. That's gonna SUCK. I asked my husband if he thought I could still do leg presses with a cast! Anyway, I decided to skip the workout today because I just didn't want to do cardio for an hour putting pressure on it. It's hurting worse and worse and I don't want to aggravate any worse. The worst thing she can do is tell me to stay off of it. So I thought it would be best if I didn't make it worse!

Do you have any insight as to what it may be?

I had to look up where Akron was, but I know the area. I live in Morrison, which is a suburb on the western most side of Denver. If you find yourself out this way I would love to meet you!

Why in the hell did your ex grind a chair into your foot? To push the bone back in - or am I missing something there?
