Heel pain. Trying to walk daily about 45 minutes then standing job . In pain which is so annoying . I think I’m going to have to strict diet. And maybe yoga . The walking and the standing just isn’t helping me atall.

I’ve been awake not able to sleep because of aching in my toes from my plantar fasciitis, so I googled it to find helpful advice and found this page. I’m sad that so many people suffer from this debilitating condition but I’m grateful to read the comments and know that I’m not alone in this battle to overcome this condition. I am about to turn 60 , I am 12 kg over weight. I used to be fit and healthy and never had problems loosing weight. But now I have PF in one foot and a broken cuboid bone injury in the other foot, and now cellulitis skin infection on my ankle. So life is a bit sucky right now 😩.
But I found this “metabolic renewal “ program for women weight loss, a combination of healthy eating with 15 minutes workout 3 times a week. I’m hoping if I can loose some weight my feet problems will go away 🤔

In reply to Heel That Pain. I’m doing a kickboxing class with PF and a freshly healed broken toe. I just let the gym know that I’m basically ‘broken’ lol. I have been a competitive athlete in the past and have many old injuries coming back to haunt me in my 50’s I’ve also been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and arthritis. I don’t run, do burpees or anything that impacts my foot too much. I’m also eating super clean again and losing weight. 20 pounds to go. I ice it, use arnica and hemp oils (separately) w/ great results there. I go to my chiropractor and get treated. My friends own a place called Bio-tique here in San Diego and they have a machine that I get Electro magnetic (?) treatments, I forget the name of the device, but it’s miraculous for my whole body. It’s emfp or something. I take ibuprofen when I have to and get massages when I can. I’ve invested in PF approved footwear and never walk barefooted. All of this and I’m still hobbling around. Going to see a foot doctor soon. I don’t usually have good luck with drs, but it’s necessary. Ugh, it’s so annoying and painful!

In reply to Sandy Hyatt. Me too! My legs are so much bigger than this time last year. Just feel swollen. However, I walk daily. Then, at work, am in my feet all day. Luckily a customer suggested a brand of shoe to help with pf. I’m now on my way back to getting back in shape. Still hurts but no where what I had. The weight gain is more upsetting to me. The pain was just too much to keep up with exercise like I did.

I agree the pain is unreal. I’m getting pain in front of my right heal across the top of the foot in the arch I’ve never felt anything so painful.
Have never wanted anything to go away so bad, this has even caused me to gain weight I use to walk twice a day morning and night not far down the road and back usually half hour each time. not any more to painful. Why do people not understand

Is pilates helpful for PF cure and weight management? I am suffering for over a year now… tried e everything.. shock therapy didn’t help nor ultra sound. I took my second Injection today after 9 months.

In reply to Sally. ESW was a procedure that has shockwaves and is 84% successful, where the open surgery was 50-71%. I was to go in for this procedure and the Anesthesiologist called and cancelled the procedure due to my BMI. Of course being that this procedure is still expirmental my insurance wouldn’t cover it so I was going to pay out of pocket. Now I’m looking into stepping into a bear trap!

Running is an obsession for me and till sometime back it was with me as daily schedule but of late , after i have started getting heel pain and discomfort for whole of the day due to Plantar Fascitis , I was unable to run everyday. Kindly suggest some measures that I should adopt for treatment and that keeps me going with my jog on daily basis.

In reply to Jen. If you have a foot doctor,you should go & request the insoles for planter fasciitis. They will help while you walk and exercise because I have had plantar fasciitis for maybe 6 years now. I put them in my gym shoes and boots. They do help,trust me !
