Spike's Bitches 21 Gunn Salute
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Also known as heel spurs. Basically, it's what happens when your Planta Fascia ( nerve running down the length of your foot) decides to curl up, contract, and basically make your life low grade miserable for 6-18 months.
bt, I'm so sorry and I deeply sympathize on the foot pain. I think they make special socks that you can wear at night that stretch your tendons out. You want I see if I can find them, or has that already been looked at as an option?
Timelies.
PC, if you would be so kind as to pass by my tag changes, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
billytea, plantar fasciitis sucks.
Boy, was that helpful, or what? When I had it, I stretched a LOT. And that's about it. I didn't notice it speeding my recovery. Oh, and I bitched about it a lot, too. Which also didn't help.

Me too. Also wore sneakers non stop. Still doing so. I am convinved this new foot pain stems from the fact that I am wearing (still sturdy, flat and comfortable) waterproof shoes and boots, due to winter.
Eek! Thanks for the link, Nora.
I'm glad you found housing, Billytea. J'm sorry your foot problems are getting worse.
My mother had that plantar fasciitis. My sister-in-law had it while pregnant, as if pregnancy isn't fun enough. My sympathies. I know from them how terribly uncomfortable it can be.
Yeah, properly fitting shoes are a huge part of dealing with plantar's.

There's a great running shoe store in the area, called Boston Marathon Sports. I went in and said I had PF and they hooked me up. They're a really great resource anyway. They have you take off your shoes and watch you walk, so they can see if you lean in or out, and recommend shoes based on suporting the way you walk. Also, they tell you to go outside and run/walk on the sidewalk, to see how they feel on that surface.
Oh, my, I'm babbling today. It's so quiet here at the office!
