How many little nagging injuries do you have?

Some of you make me feel so blessed.
Left hamstring has been acting up off and on for about 6 months, seems to be getting better and stiffness goes away quicker. I think I was overcompensating for old injury in opposite foot. Being diligent about stretching after, and tweaking my form and posture a little have helped.
IT, I think in left knee region was bugging me but seems to have healed completely. I think it's more from driving long distance than from running.
Aside from rest when needed, most of my ouchies have been seemingly remedied by building more muscle from running.

Left hip is perpetually wonky, even with strength training and PT exercises. This causes some sort of imbalance that will also irritate the PTT in my right leg. ATT in left leg gets tight on slanted sidewalks (I try my hardest to avoid).
New issue is in the joint/area under my big toe on my left foot. It hurts a tiny bit, then pops, then its fine. Started about halfway into HM training. It usually bothers me on the treadmill, not running outside.

My stupid pinkie toe is acting strange. Not like hurting or anything but like burning, red and itchy. Oh dear Lord don't let it be athletes foot this close to summer.

After a few days off the shin feels much better. I have just over a week till this marathon so I hope it agrees to work with me. I can make it work but I hope it does it on its own.0

1. Janky toenail that I'm convinced will never grow back.
2. A mental disorder that involves extreme fear of a ITB injury coming back whenever my left leg doesn't feel right.0 -

The stretch for that (lying down and crossing one ankle over the other knee and pulling it towards you) is my absolute favorite stretch. Feels so good. Do you do this, does it help?
Love that stretch. Also, a lacrosse ball is great for massaging it. Just sit on the ball on the floor and roll it around.0 -

I just graduated/got kicked out of PT on Wednesday in fact.
I run anyway since the ortho dr said I wasn't making it better but I wasn't making it worse - that was in September so maybe I should pay him a visit again
I'd like to add to this.
I now have a broken fibula at my left ankle...0 -

Wow! How did you accomplish this? I confess I was worried I fractured something but the x-rays came back clean. The doctor said you typically need blunt trauma to the lower leg to get a fracture.
Update: My shin is nearly back to normal and wasn't a factor this last weekend. 50 mpw for 3 - 4 weeks was the issue. It's great now and getting better with rest. Hurray!0 -

I hit a pothole or the edge of the road on an early morning run and went down.
I heard a pop. Limped the mile home. Tried to ice/elevate it myself, wasn't getting better so I brought myself to the hospital.
Walking boot for 6 weeks. I can start run/walking again in July - I have permission to walk one of my June 5ks but my half, 15k, trail 5k, and Avon Walk for Breast Cancer are off the table (and probably my weekend excursion up Mt Katahdin lol)0 -

Ouch! That's hardly a nagging issue. That's a flat out injury and you're done running for a bit type thing. Bummer.0 -

Yeah I'm bummed, but I'll get back into running as soon as they let me. And I'm going to try to get to the recumbent bike here soon so I don't go nuts (shame I can't use the trainer in my living room, I'd rather that).
Just run a couple of miles for me, k? =]
