Hi all I'm a 2nd yr podiatry student and just wondered if I could call upon your expertise. Last month I suddenly started to get an aching pain around my right 5th MTPJ in the morning, when I first weightbear on the foot. It lasts for the first 10 minutes or so then subsides. Gradually it has become more persistent so that I feel the pain throughout the day and evening.

I first thought the pain was localised lateral to the 5th MTPJ because it felt tender, I now feel that the pain is actually proximal to the 5th MTPJ, because squeezing the right 5th MTPJ doesn't elicit any pain anymore. What is worrying me is that the pain is associated with a restriction in motion (I suspect) in the articulation between the Cuboid/base of left 5th, or the calcaneocuboid joint. when I first weightbear in the morning, it feels as though that lateral side of the foot doesn't want to move, it feels restricted and painful and intially forces me to avoid propulsing through the foot for the first several steps. There is no cerpitus, swelling or wamth, and I have not experienced any recent trauma to attribute to it. I just wondered if its something any of you have come across - or at least you might want a challenge.
Look forward to any ideas
