Plantar fasciitis
Thursday, January 13, 2011 at 11:29 AM filed under General postings
I suffer from plantar fasciitis. I got it from running on my brand new treadmill. My wife and I purchased it for loosing weight. What a horrible thing to live with. I haven't use the tread mill in two years due to this chronic condition. I have researched on how to heel the injury and have practiced all recommendations. I have seen two podiatrists and gone through the painful cortisone shots and have taken NSAIDS. I wear expensive orthotics with expensive shoes recommended by both doctors and to this day still suffer. I am trying to loose weight as best I can to help take the load off of my feet. When dealing with the pain I can't help but get mentally stressed and depressed. When feeling this way I tend to use food and alcohol as a way to feel better. It's my drug to cope with the physical and emotional pain. If any one can relate to my problem please comment on my blog and we can share our support.
