In reply to Chrissy47. I'm 53 with severe plantar fasciitis and was wondering how hard it was for you to get your disability started?

I’m 54 have hard time walking due to pain, tried the meds, the massages, shoes inserts, ect. Some times I can’t get out of bed to go to bathroom due to pain. Goes from feet to legs into hips now. Can’t hold job because if pain. Any suggestions. No income no insurance no job now☹

the shoe inserts practically cured my PF for a year, but now it’s back and so painful. my job involves walking and i just don’t know if i can cope with walking on my toes or the sides of my feet. i would hate to be labeled disabled because i feel able bodied at 53, but walking is a nightmare. i had no idea this was considered a disability, and i hope people are getting the benefits if they can.

Plantier Facitis shoes help a great deal. Check on the internet. I have to use extra padding under the heels, but the shoes help a great deal.

In reply to Amanda. Wow, I am so sorry you have to go through this! I have been going through this since the end 2002. I have had both feet operated one at the same time in May of 2004, for Plantar Fasciitis. And until this day my life has never been the same. I have crawled on the floor many of to the bathroom at home, I had to go on unemployment for medical leave do to not being able to walk because I have other problems with my feet. Now, I am 38 yrs old, I wear braces on both feet and ankles. It effects me every day. I went through physical therapy also, it helps some. But the fatigue and depression you get from the debilitating pain is awful & I feel your pain.

I’m 47 and I too have plantar faciitis. I am in pain every day. While laying down I have shooting pains in my heels that go up my legs.

I have to limp to go to the bathroom. My Doctor gave me Ibuprofen 800 mg but it ended up giving me stomach inflammation. I limp every where I go.
Sometimes I just can’t get outta bed due to the pain. The heels of my feet are in excruciating pain. I’m going to ask my Doctor for some crutches or something. Inserts & different shoes don’t work either.

I have to apply for Disability.
I can barely walk let alone stand up enough to hold a job or do minor errands. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. I feel like such a loser because I can’t work or do errands due to this condition.

I have severe plantar fasciitis and have shortened heel tendons having surgery soon. They told me that this doesn’t qualify me to be on disability. Trying to figure out next step. Been in pain since I was born and my feet and legs are giving out.
