I feel like I'm always here with my chronic foot pain issues. 3 years ago my left foot had some pain I believe came from loose shoes and I was slipping to the outside. Left foot has always been an issue sense in the arch and region near the navicular bone.

About a month ago I wore sausony shoes to the gym which I normally do not wear. I thought I would wear them because they are pretty flat and this version are stability shoes. Near the end of my workout it felt like I was standing on a bar pushing up against my foot. The next day I could barely way. I was hopping around on my right foot or shuffling around to make it from place to place. The left foot pain eventually went from the bottom to the top of my foot which hurt a lot but at least I could walk.

The pain then went to my right foot which I normally do not have issues with. I guess compensating was putting pressure on it. At this point my left foot was having its pain on the inside near navicular bone and arch and the right foot was inside foot pain as well as pain in front of the ankle where the foot meets. I was in extreme pain and dealing with inflammation. I did two rounds of 7 day prednisone which helped short term but came back. I left a concert early because standing for 30 mins was causing extreme pain.

Next stop was an ortho. X-rays showed some small spurts on my navicular. He thought it was related to the subtalar joint because of the limited motion I had with the swelling moving my foot in and out. He administered lidocain shots in both feet opposite side of tendon (outside foot). I had a lot of relief from that and the swelling did come down. The left foot which normally has the issue is doing much better. I'm still dealing with pain on the right foot. Feels like anterior (top of foot) as well as inner top. I'm losing my mind dealing with pain for other a month. I have vacation in a week and going to be bad if I cant move much.

Not sure what your thoughts are. Pain jumped from one foot to the other and now that foot is not healing.
