had it now for 5 months . only just starting to get better . several things have helped . insoles , superfeet are the best off shelf . steel toecap trainers instead of regulation workboots . stretching . strassburg sock . ice pack several times a day ( bag of peas ) iboprufen gel massaged into area that hurts . bought racing bike to keep fitness up . feel ready to do some short runs , and will give it a go in the new year . have sympathy for anyone who gets this , its a nasty injury .
