I probably looked at that, Linda, but I will look it up again. I just made my appt for my physical and can't see my doctor until mid-October. I am planning to just wait till then to get it checked unless it gets worse. Most days it doesn't hurt, even with running and jumping, so I'm not super concerned.

There's a possibility that you may have over worked your peroneal muscles (particularly peroneus brevis, which attaches on the lateral portion of the foot). These muscles help to stabilize in high impact activity and they are more vulnerable to injury if you have even a hint of inappropriate foot pronation or supination. As most of the treatment is directed to the leg portion of the muscle, it would be fairly safe to do a trial of foam rolling/gentle stretches to see if this helped. If you are game, start with foam rolling first. If that works well, go gentle on the stretches. Foam rolling can help lengthen/relax the muscle so that stretching is more effective. HTH.
Peroneus brevis Foam rolling 1 foam rolling 2 stretches/foam rolling ETA: Peroneal injuries are worse sitting cross legged and can also be worse in shoes that lift your arch high enough to let your foot roll laterally--that can cause tugging on the muscle. Compression sleeves on the lower leg or ankle can improve symptoms by supporting the muscle (so it doesn't have to work as hard when stabilizing the foot).

Thanks so much, Taiga! I don't have a foam roller right now but I'll attempt some of the stretches and see if they offer relief. It sounds like even if I'm doing compression thinking the injury is one thing that it could be helping even if it's this other issue.
I will bring up both ideas to my doctor.

Wow, my husband has had bad foot pain (both feet) for years now. The tarsal tunnel syndrome symptoms seem to match his. He's tried a bunch of different things. Apparently they gave him a shot to "fix" TTS and it didn't work, so now he thinks that's not it. I'm wondering if he just waited too long and his nerves were so badly damaged that's why the shot didn't work. At this point he is so fed up with doctors throwing darts at it that he doesn't even want to try to get help anymore. It's pretty debilitating -- these days he can't do much more than sit on the couch for a large part of the day. Not sure how I get him to take a second look at TTS but boy that sounds like it to me.
Good luck to all having foot problems!!
