Usually advice on these ranges from

a) make a bread poltice with beetroot and the stings from the first wasps of spring. Soak foot in this for 2-3 hrs a day while reciting a few decades of the rosary.

to

b) find a good physio who will not only get rid of the problem but probably discover why you got it in the first place.

I usually go with option b. In the long run injuries don't usually go away. If option b doesn't work then try option a.

I'm guessing you know what I'm getting at:D

Have booked in with a physio and hopefully it will be righted pronto...
Cheers dude!
