In June of last year, I was packing boxes as we were moving and kocked my foot into a cabinet. It caused an awful bruise and I was in a lot of pain. I went to minor emergency and though swollen it wasn't broken. It seemed to get better on it's own, I was very careful and wore tennis shoes and took lots of motrin. I am not convinced that I didn't have a hairline fracture in a bone on the top of my foot but had it been broken it wouldn't have been a break that would have warranted a cast or a boot anyway.
Then in July I was doing Tae Boe and tore the tendon in the same foot. I went to the doctor again and was told that I had torn my tendon and was told to stay off as much as possible and not to wear heels etc.
It's just been in the last month or so that I have been pain free. I think it is easy to exacerbate the injury in that I fell over when I was kneeling in front of the fridge putting groceries away and aggravated the injury then in December just sitting "Indian Style" aggravated it again!
The pain was awful...it interuppted my sleep, I couldn't wear heels (I dress in suits for church and work related appts. Suits and flat shoes just don't do it for me!), limped for two months. YUK.
As I said, it's been about a month that I have been totally without pain. I even managed a two mile walk without alot of discomfort last week. My foot did swell up a bit but there was no pain.
I "feel ya" my friend. Let me know what your "back doctor" says. It seems to make sense to try and take care of that first and then your feet.
