Hello,
I have been experiencing a tingling, pins and needles feeling in the balls of my feet after running about 3 miles or so. On Saturday's run the pain was more in my left foot and concentrated more in one area but normally I get the feeling in both feet. It does get worse as the run goes on but if I walk the feeling is not as intense. Originally I thought my shoes were not wide enough but I have since purchased much wider shoes and the feeling has not gone away. I have never done this much running in my life so I am not sure what else to try or if this is normal...any ideas?


thanks!
Jenn

Jenn,
A little more info from you would be helpful in figuring out how best to help. What is your height, weight, and age? How much/often are you stretching? Any history of metabolic disorders with you or your family? How long after your running does the tingling stop?
Get back to me and we shall see what we can do.
Cheers,
Dr. Jake
