I have been having foot pain/ache which initially started at the big toe joint on bottom/side of foot but only after running a number of miles. Recently, I have been having constant foot ache on top of foot where the big toe joint is. My shoes feel uncomfortable and tight (even tho they are not). My X-ray was normal. I am unable to see a specialist for a few weeks. I am just at a loss of what is going on and very frustrated. I teach group fitness and run and have really lessened my workout frequency and intensity. Should I not exercise on it if it doesnt bother me much while exercising? It seems to ache more at night when I am not doing anything. Please advise.
