Hands And Feet Tingle At the End of My Jog Posted: 06-27-07 10:13am
I've started to pick up running again and
I'll usually run for 20 or 30 min and VERY
fast walk for another 30 minutes. And
lately I've noticed that my feet, the
middle of my feet - if that makes sense,
the middle and "ring" toes?? area start to
tingle, and my hands tingle JUST A BIT,
and itch...anyone know what's going on????
Thanks.

Hi, sounds like you are developing a
Morton's neuroma. You might consider
getting custom insoles, REALLY stretching
your calves and feet after running, and
doing deep foot massage (like when you're
watching TV or something) where you work
your thumb deep between all the joints in
the ball of your foot.
What's happening is the nerve that runs
between the fourth and fifth toe is
getting irritated. Eventually, it will
develop scarring that will make it even
harder for it to pass through the bones on
the ball of your foot, and exacerbate the
problem. It'll start to feel really
painful.
The massage might work to reduce the
scarring, and spread apart those joints.
