I know you can't diagnose, but I wondered if anybody here had experienced or heard about anything like this. My husband's sleeping and my memory's bad so I can't remember all the details, but he thought he injured something somewhere in his foot somehow. A week ago or so (I think. Probably not 2 weeks. Told you my memory was bad!)

The thing is, it still hurts him sometimes, but he says it seems to feel better when he is exercising (like playing with the kids, not really serious "exercise," or generally being active on it) and/or when he has just exercised!

Any clue? It's not the kind of thing he feels the need to go see a doctor for yet while I'm on the brink of having a baby, but it would be helpful to have some idea why it might be acting like this.

Guessing that he warms it up when he exercises and that's why it feels better -- a lot of sites recommend light stretches and warm-up exercises when a minor injury is recovering.

My teenager who is in sports is always getting little sprains and ligament injuries and part of the rehab is exercising lightly (after the first 48-72 hours).

Your husband might want to try a heating pad or a sock stuffed with rice and warmed in the microwave, applied on the site of the injury for a few minutes, in order to help healing. But this is not a dr's advice, just something that helps my son when he's past the "acute" stage of an injury.
