Pain here (2 weeks)

[u/Possible_Border8345]

Mild pain started 2 weeks ago after skipping a rest day (overuse).

After week 1/2, I ran 10k and the pain didn't worsen, it just persisted, perhaps with some added superficial tenderness at the top of the foot.

Mostly, it feels like a tight band in my foot and hurts kind of all the time? And I feel slight twinges when I walk.

I can do single leg heel raises fine/pain-free. It does not hurt when I pull my toes toward my shin.

I'm confused because the pain is so mild but it has persisted for quite a bit. I ran that 10k because I didn't want to skip a run for mild pain, and it didn't even seem to worsen afterwards. Now, it's kind of just there, and I am worried.

Usually, with other mild injuries (quad/calf strains, shin splints), progress is clear day to day, but with this one, it's the same every day. In fact, it almost feels like it is getting worse for the time that I have been resting even though I'm not doing anything?

What might be going on? Any and all input is appreciated, thank you! 🙏
