Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Hi
After pain in my 3rd metatarsal gradually becoming worse to the point where I can no longer run without pain I have been diagnosed with Freibergs disease and am awaiting an operation to debride, clean and smooth the bone. I wondered if anyone else had any experience of this? The cons mentioned partial joint replacement but he doesn't think it is advanced enough for that but will no better when he's opened my foot up :-(

Yikes! I have no experience of this (have never heard of it!) but just wanted to wish you the best with the op and recovery!

When I broke a metatarsal three years ago, I found that although I couldn't run I could cross train by weight training and using an exercise bike. It seemed to help me keep a reasonable level of fitness til I could run again. Hope you have a quick recovery.

Got something to say?
