Plantar fasciitis

I spent an entire summer with my feet taped up. Showering with plastic bags on your feet is always fun.

It did help, though, especially on the first or second day of taping.

 

I was diagnosed with it nearly three years ago.

It took two cortisone injections and orthotics in my shoes to clear it up, but I haven't had any pain since.

And I remember that morning pain. God, it killed getting out of bed each day.

Hang in there. You'll kick this with the right treatment.

 

You mean you have Aryan gardeners too?


Oh, you meant Plantar fasciitis

 

Whenever a teammate had it in college, they told him to roll his foot around on a golf or tennis ball. Hurts like anything, but eventually works it out.

 

I'm not sure if it was better or worse, but my first steps of the day were never the most painful. The other thing that helped me, Moddy, was not standing around in one place. Pacing around rather than standing around caused less pain for me.

 

Lose the birks and crocs...

 

Instead of expensive orthotics, I just use "Dr. Scholl's Advantage Arch Supports." They're blue with a red bottom.

Got a set for every pair of sneakers/shoes I own.

It really makes a difference.

 

I was trying to be snarky without being snarky... I have used the heel cups on and off for years and it's helped with flare ups...
