I've been reading your blog for a few years now and only comment every once in a while because, well, because it's a PITA on the ipad and I'm kinda lazy like that. LOL! However, after your post today I HAD to drag out the laptop and leave a comment. <br />I've been dealing with the EXACT same arch and top of foot pain. Before you head off for another surgery, I wanted to tell you what worked for me. They were BOTH related to tight calves. Doing lots and lots of calf stretching and strengthening AND using a Lacross (or tennis) ball to roll out my calves. Specifically the area down near my ankle and achilles tendon. Then I take the ball and roll out my arch. <br />I do this a few times a day and I was completely pain free after just a day or two. <br />Congrats on your long runs, you are such an inspiration!!<br />~Jessica Mauk<br />http://healthyfor100.blogspot.comJessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15606131327600041337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-36652817221142771842012-10-05T20:49:02.732-05:002012-10-05T20:49:02.732-05:00Wonder if those creams would help knees?
