I wore the narrow shoes for a couple weeks thinking they would stretch out. I first noticed this pain while wearing these shoes sitting at my desk. Since then I have only bought wide shoes, but the pain is still there.

I just find it so weird that I can complete a triathlon and run a 12k pain free, but when I go to sit down the pain in my foot is instant. I've been taking super B complex vitamins which was recommended by a podiatrist, but I haven't seen any improvements. I have also stopped running but pain is the same and visually my foot looks fine (no swelling or color change). Does this sound like nerve damage? The nerve test I got showed I was fine but the dr said it doesn't completed rule out nerves as the issue.

It has gotten to the point where I instantly slip my shoes off when I sit down. And I would love to wear shoes with laces again!


Thanks again for any insight / advice. - Chris
Hi, sounds strange to me cause I have tarsal tunnel in both ankles (which affects the tibia n. on inside) and peroneal nerve compression on lt ankle which affects the outside lower leg & ankle, causes numbness & tingling up n down leg, pain on outside of ankle, burning on top foot and pain n burning on outside knee. But standing &walking make pain & numbness worse!
U. Probably should see a neurologist
