My old friend has returned. Mr Plantar Fasciitis, who I haven't seen in many years, dropped in last month. I hoped he'd leave on his own, as he sometimes does. But no. He's made himself comfortable (which makes me uncomfortable) in my right foot and shows no signs of wanting to move on.
Last time it took almost six months to get rid of him. And that puts a big cramp in my running schedule. Three weeks so far, this time.
On the plus side, I'm gaining weight (which I always have a hard time doing). I gained more than a pound last week!
I’ve got it in my left foot. Arch support inserts and a little ibuprofen twice a day does the trick for me.
Must be an epidemic. I’ve been struggling with this for a couple months now. Luckily I swim for exercise which is not hampered at all by my bum foot.
i wish i could swim… but i can’t even float. i just sink.
Me too! Like a fucking stone. It’s totally unnerving.
it sucks!
swimming is a fight for my life, not something i can do for exercise. if i stop going forward, i sink.
Yeah me too. I’ve had swimmers tell me that it is simply a matter of technique and that there is no such thing as a human being who sinks. I’m telling you though, I am proof. We exist!
i can’t even float in place. i sink, feet first, if i don’t work at it.
swimmers. bah!
