Anyone ever have it? If you haven't, it sucks..........
Plantar Fasciitis
- Thread starter AZ402
- Start date
"Plantar fasciitis is a painful inflammatory condition of the foot caused by excessive wear to the plantar fascia that supports the arches of the foot or by biomechanical faults that cause abnormal pronation.[1] The pain usually is felt on the underside of the heel, and is often most intense with the first steps of the day. It is commonly associated with long periods of weight bearing or sudden changes in weight bearing or activity. Obesity, weight gain, jobs that require a lot of walking on hard surfaces, shoes with little or no arch support, and inactivity are also associated with the condition.
Plantar fasciitis was formerly called "a dog's heel" in the United Kingdom. It is sometimes known as "flip-flop disease" among US podiatrists. The condition often results in a heel spur on the calcaneus, in which case it is the underlying condition, and not the spur itself, which produces the pain"
Dude that sucks.... sorry to hear it. Hey wait until your over 40, then you will see what sucks.... remember my blown out taint from that bike ride from hell? yea, still healing from that one and it looks like I popped a blood vessel and got a case of "prostititis" and had to get a prostate ultrasound yesterday and trust me, they don't check it from the outside looking in
Miller probably hopes he gets this condition after reading that

yep and yep. have to make sure you stretch that foot every morning before you get out of bed in the morning. tennis ball or golf ball rolled under the arch helps some. keep the foot stretched as much as possible. avoid surgery on your foot/feet at all cost.

My wife has made fun of me for the last 24hrs for turning it down. I have a feeling Monday will be the day, hope I don't pass out.......
Oak, high arches are a big contributer to it....

I got the cortizone shot in my knee and it helped tremednously. What has a longer benefit for the knee, though, is the orthovisc injections that I got later - 1 a week for 3 weeks. They have worked fantastically. I took my son out fo rhis first pheasant hunt yesterday, and walked all day. My knee was a little stiff getting out of the car after driving home for a couple of hours, and was a little sore that night, but nothing like the pain from a regular day prior to the series of shots.
I have very high arches, but so far have not been bothered much.

I had it in both feet and it is a bitch! I bought the Arch Supports for my shoes and I think they helped some.....after 7 months. One of the great monents of your life is to notice your feet don't hurt anymore! John

I got a cortisone shot in my heel for Plantar 4 years ago. It hurt like HELL. They have to put it in really slow so all of it goes into the inflamed nerve. I was gripping the hospital bed like I was on a plane going down. My shirt was soaked in sweat when it was over. However. when my foot hit the floor I had no pain and have never had even a twinge since. It works.

Way to pump Stan up. I'm sure he's excited about it now.
Yeah, that was the last thing I needed to hear.....
When I told him how many years it's been bothering me, his first words were "you're getting a shot". I said is there and alternative for a least a week? It'll take me at least that long to pyshc myself up for a shot. So my foot it wrapped and I can't remove the tape until Friday.
I have an order for blood work sitting on my desk dated 2-4-08. Needless to say, I'm not a big fan of hyopdermic needles..

Just do it. It was a miracle cure for me. I also put insoles in all my shoes and boots but have never had any pain at all since the shot.

The foot shot must be worse than the one I got in my knee. Yeah, it was a big needle and a lot of juice, and they put it in real slow, but it was really only the last couple/few seconds that hurt and that was more from the pressure of the stuff. They used a spray (I don't remember the name or the chemical) that froze the skin to numb the injection site so I really did not feel the shot itself much. The relief was great and it only took an hour or so to take effect. That's about how long the pressure ache lasted, too. Just an ache - not a bad or sharp pain.

I heard there is a 90% chance of Chitin yourself with the shot. But I could be wrong...Good Luck! John
