Ow, ow, farging ow!

Bitch, whine, moan. Woke up this morning with a new and distinctive pain. It's a little hard to describe, but if you imagine that someone had taken the front of your left foot and attempted to clumsily snap it off -- it's something like that. A nasty, strong, interior pain, running across the foot between the ball and the arch. (Such as it is.) Seems to hurt mainly in ordinary walking: the act of rolling from the heel to the ball is what really sets it off.

The really annoying part is that I have no idea what caused this: I was fine when I went to bed, AFAIK. But it's been hurting like blazes since I got up this morning, and the usual painkillers only help a bit. Hopefully it'll go away on its own within a few days, or I may have to actually consult the doctor on it: dancing on this isn't an option. (Even walking without a pronounced limp takes a real force of will.)
