Every Step I Take...

RahRahRah

3 years ago I noticed a slight pain in the sole of my right foot. Later that week, almost as if overnight, my shoes felt different, like someone went and messed up the area where the arch is in the foot. My shoes felt like they had been turned out on their sides. Every single pair. From that point on the pain in my feet started everyday, through the night and affecting my sleep. Sometimes the pain reached up my calves and I slept many nights stretching out my legs, flexing and pronating my feet. I went to the DR, and she didnt know what was going on.

 

Then I figured it out. Im too heavy.

I went on another crash diet, HCG this time and the pain went away for about 6 months. But its back now, and I feel it in both feet, just stronger on the right heel.

 

Ive been lucky medically so far even with the weight. No diabetes, cholesteral not elevated and no heart issues. But the gall bladder is out and this pain, which I think is Plantar Fascitis is a daily reminder that my health issues can worsen so quickly. I went to Zumba for the first time on Monday, yay, but as I started into it, the pain in my feet was becoming unbearable. But I went on and finished the class. Reason #10 for getting healthier starting with my weight, is make the pain of walking go away, because its a reminder every step I take, that no matter how good that donut or slice of pizza tasted, being able to walk or dance or skip without pain gives me greater satisfaction.

Hello, I have plantar fascitis and it's a pain! I can only do exercises that doesn't require stomping up and down, so Zumba is a no go .The elliptical and bike is all I can do. I can't walk more than 5 min without pain. I knew something was wrong when I woke up every morning and the first step was painful. I hope it gets better for you.

I, too, had plantar fascitis. I had my Dr. inject my feet.. It put some numbing meds in first and then started the injections. There was a little pain, but it is so much better. We have all tile floors and they are really hard on your feet, plus the weight, of course. Good luck.
