Healthcare in a nutshell, I guess? Anyway, finally back up to 15 miles per week running except now I have an arch blister...likely to pop that after work so I can run tomorrow night (WanderingEng is that a terrible idea?). It's kind of a good thing if only it indicates my weight's not falling as much on the outside of my feet anymore. And I have a date on Friday. We'll see how that goes. Who cares, probably moving in April anyway.I have good news and I have dumb news. The good news is that it's incredibly unlikely that your lesion is cancerous, and you were likely born with it. The dumb news is the radiologist was completely wrong and it's actually on your femur, not your humorous, and I'm a shoulder specialist.
The army did some tests on whether or not blisters should be popped. Their assessment was that the best thing to do with a blister is drain it and then fill it with medical cyanoacrylate. Crazy glue works fine. Slash the edge with a sharp razor, drop a drip in there, squoosh it down, let it dry and go about your business. Or, you know, moleskin.
Moleskin I have! A razor that's not already been used for something else is really what I need to go get at this point...wouldn't mind reading that army study, sounds interesting.
For me, I drain blisters, keep them clean and let them dry. It mostly seems to work pretty well. I think you're on the right track, and just listen to your body. And do some Googling to make sure your body isn't lying to you. Did you get the blister running? What kind of socks do you use? Cotton will rub, while wool will wick sweat and rub less. I'm a big fan of wool socks.
It's an older SKU of UA HeatGear, which while not wool, are polyester and not cotton. Might be worth buying some wool socks, my feet were surprisingly sweaty last night and I think that combined with relatively new shoes, inserts, and the running form changes are what caused the issue.
