    Hello,

    I played bball for few hours yesterday. I was playing in my new Kobe's without breaking them in....grave mistake. My feet were sore while I was playing, but I didn't think too much of it and kept playing. After I was done, my calves and tibialis anterior were more sore than my feet so I didn't think too much about my feet. I did find it awkward that the side of my feet hurts because that rarely happens to me.

    When I woke up, I noticed that side of my right foot hurts (left one is sore at the same location, but barely). I did some research and I started to get worried that it was a Jones/Mid-Shaft Fracture. The location of the injury is between the neck of my 5th metatarsal and the bone that is sticking out on the side of my foot. I think there is little swelling, but I don't see any bruises. If I press on the mid side of my foot, it hurts...but it does not hurt to a point that will make me cringe or gasp. I pressed down on my 5th metatarsal head, and it did not hurt. I feel little pain/discomfort when I walk.

    Pictures of my feet and the location of the pain: imgur . com /a/9hwnl (Can't post links yet, elimiate the spaces)

    I can still jump and move my feet in any direction in the air without feeling any pain. If I have to play a competitive basketball game, I feel as though that I can suck it up and play. I am just hoping my foot is sore from new shoes, but injury god has never been good to me.

    Is this a Jones Fracture/Mid-Shaft Fracture?


    Hopefully, it is neither.....
    If it is one of them, I don't think it requires a surgery, but what I should do other than RICE and taking Vit. D& Calcium?

    And I need to be able to run few miles around the 7min mark in September. What would be a good cardio to do that does not put pressure on my foot other than swimming?

    Finally, any insole recommendation for long runs, basketball, and etc.? I am currently using blue Superfeet for regular use. I use orange Superfeet for basketball (didn't do that yesterday....-_-).

    Thank you. Response would be much appreciated.

    It is unlikely to be fracture. Just see how things pan out over the next day or two.
