My body's pissing me off.

So, around 9 weeks ago, my right foot started hurting in a new and different way, along the muscles along the top of foot, along the muscle path for my little and 'ring' toes.
(Looking at The Anatomy Coloring Book, it seems to be where the 4th and 5th toe branches of the Extensor Digitorum Longus are running along the 4th and 5th Metatarsals, around the middle of their length.

It was worst when I transitioned from having weight on it to not, or when I went from no weight to stepping on it. Staying in either of the weight or no-weight positions was pretty much fine. Walking, moving, shifting, dancing, etc, not so much.

I went to the Dr. I had x-rays done to look for stress fractures. Nope. It didn't seem like a gout attack to me, as it had nothing to do with my big toe. Eventually, after taking it easy for a few (4? 5?) days, it went away.

Last week, Wednesday, it returned. Just as painful. This time, it was MOSTLY done with by Sunday or so, but my foot was still sore through Tuesday.

Wednesday, both feet were fine.

On Thursday, my OTHER foot started hurting, in a different place - that bunch of muscle farther up the foot from the 1st location (on the other foot, but you know what I mean...), nearer the ankle - perhaps at the Inferior extensor retinaculum or (less likely) the Superior extensor retinaculum - but still towards the outside of the foot.

Along with this is a bit of (right) big-toe flair-up, but I have no idea if these are actually related.

{sigh} I don't need this.
