Just came on this afternoon while sat at my desk - exactly as if my shoe was too tight. It was a little sore on the walk to the station, but agony walking home after an hour sat on the train. Front of my calves is tender too Is the initial treatment just RICE?

hellen May 2013 8:52am, 23 May 2013 14,339 posts	0 hellen went to physio yesterday, it wasnt either of the above! He said there is stiffness in one of my joints on the top of my foot nearish the ankle. He did lots of manipulation and said to roll on a tennis ball. Funny thing is, I have a foot log (better than tennis ball) for when I had PF, I stopped using it a few weeks ago so wonder if that had kept this thing at bay Anyway, roll foot and pull foor around a bit to immobilise it and should be good to go in a few days
