| hotspots I've been cycling two to three times a week for the last 18 months without complaint (apart from some early knee pain that turned out to be a result of being a middle-aged exercise-phobic fat bloke). Recently I've started developing a hotspot on the ball of my right foot during cycling. It doesn't matter if I'm on my MTB (toe-clips and running shoes) or my road bike (Look clipless pedals and Sidi cycling shoes), but after abour 20mins it flares up and stays with me until about 30mins after I end my ride. Anyone know what causes this and what can be done about it? It's hardly debilitating, but it is a pain in the arse (not to mention the foot). Cheers |

It puts pressure on a nerve ganglion found in the small bones behind your toes. You can correct this with a support or orthortic The support will hold your lateral arch in the correct position, and take the presure off the nerve bundle. It is worth looking after in this early stage. Google about it... Best regards, Bernie |
