Pain in the Ball of Your Foot: Working Out Which Problem You Have

by

People describe this one in unusually consistent language. It feels like walking on a pebble. Or like my sock is bunched up under my toes.

by

There is a predictable sequence for runners with pain on the outside of the knee. You get told it is your IT band. You buy a foam roller. You spend several uncomfortable minutes a day rolling up and down the outside of your thigh, wincing. You stretch it. And it does not get better. The reason is that the explanation you were given is probably outdated, and the treatment that follows from it does not do what people think it does.
