Need help! Foot pain keeping me from training.

After approximately 2 miles of running, I get a feeling of "numbness" in the ball of my foot just behind my middle three toes. This starts with a feeling as if they are "going to sleep" and then quickly escalates to pain. It makes the rest of my runs very uncomfortable. As soon as I stop running, it stops.

The locatoin of the pain seems similar to the location of a sesamoid, however it is under the middle three toes.

Can someone please help me understand what this is and how I may be able to rehab this persistent injury? I want to continue training and this is really putting a damper on things.

Quick details that may help....1. only right foot has the issue 2. Broke right ankle 6 years ago and have never regained full mobility (85%) 3. Overpronate 4. fitted with appropriate running shoes (control) 5. Shoes are new (Asic GT-2140). 5. 6' tall, 195 lbs 6. running ~12 miles a week currently.

I really appreciate any help you may be able to provide!

Thank you,

Tom Broadwell
