Avatar n tn I had surgery for my plantar fasciitis. So I've been there, done that with the burning. Still have burning stuff, so doc has me taking Lyrica for it. Seems to really help. Have you tried that before?
Avatar n tn I've been diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis and Heel Spur. My wife noticed the bone structure where my foot and ankle meet is larger than my left foot. Podiatrist feels ankle pain is attributed to compensation from the pain of the Plantar Fasciitis. I wear prescribed orthotics. The pain in the ankle area is horrendous when I'm working. With burning and sharp pain waves.
892668 tn?1241564990 This sounds like more than Plantar Fasciitis. I've never heard of Plantar Fasciitis pain on the top of the foot. Could be a nerve problem (Tarsal tunnel??) For Sandals -- purchase something from Finn Comort. They are expensive, but they last a long time. They have an excellant arch support in them. Make sure you get one with at least a 25 mm heel.
Avatar m tn My friend have heel spurs (kinda Plantar Fasciitis) on both feet for a month now.The left foot is healing on its own but the right is still uncomfortable. especially bothersome while and after running. He went to seen 3 surgeons and everyone suggested different remedies to get rid off. As he used to run for jogging so he asked surgeon to shoes for plantar fasciitis and heel spurs as he doesn't want to stop running.
Avatar f tn Now, there are some dissenters out there who do champion this style shoe for plantar fasciitis sufferers, and some people responded well to it. A retired podiatrist I knew, though, said that while barefoot runners might not get plantar fasciitis, they get a lot of broken bones and other problems. There are no miracles. Stretching and stretching and stretching is still the best medicine for this thing because of the peculiar nature of this part of the body and where it is.
Avatar n tn i have had many treatments for plantar fasciitis including inserts for my shoes, many pairs of new shoes, physical therapy for both my feet and my knee, injections and have been on all types of NSAIDS since this started. i have had 3 MRI's of my neck, low back and my knee to rule out other causes. About a year ago the pain from my feet started to move up my legs into a throbbing, aching, cold type of pain that is relieved by heat and time and pain medication (darvocet).
470872 tn?1207414069 Plantar fasciitis is the first thing that came to mind when you described the pain. Do you have osteoporosis? What I've heard about osteoporosis is it most often affects the spine, hence the women you see walking hunched over. Of course there is the increased chance of fractures as well. Perhaps it will be a simple matter of needing some orthotics in your shoes to compensate for changes in your feet.
20909564 tn?1624320701 Given my history of neuropathy, CRPS, tarsal tunnel syndrome, and plantar fasciitis, and considering that I myself have experienced with acupuncture what those grassroots people experienced with EMG, my question is as follows: For the sake of us patients who have accompanying neuropathy, CRPS, tarsal tunnel syndrome, and plantar fasciitis, it's crucial to know - have varicose vein procedures such as VNUS, Varithena, and Venaseal also accumulated negative testimonials, even if they're
Avatar f tn I've had plantar fasciitis for close to a year and recently, my lower back and knees have begun hurting. I went from 230 to 258 in less than a year, partially due to my fasciitis and subsequent lack of running and exercise. Could my knee pain be coming from PF or weight gain? Or a combination thereof? My lower back pain, could that also be caused by the two? I'm 5'8 and otherwise healthy 25 yr old.
Avatar f tn My knee x-ray states I have arthritis and my foot x-ray states I have bilateral plantar fasciitis. My questions are: 1) Does sacroiliitis always show in the x-ray? 2) Is sacroilitis fully curable? 3) Is plantar fasciitis connected with spondyloarthritis?
Avatar f tn This sounds like plantar fasciitis or heel spurs but you need to see your doctor or podiatrist to be sure. Treatment isn't complicated but it is important to get started before the pain increases or becomes resistant to treatment. People with MS can be susceptible to plantar fasciitis if they have tight calf muscles from spasticity but people that don't have MS certainly experience it as well.
Avatar f tn Lately I have been putting Voltaren gel on my forehead. I'm doing this to soothe pain from inflammation caused by increased circulation from running a lot. Is this ok? I know it takes away pain, reduces inflammation, and increases blood circulation. Also I got the blood flowing through some decadent veins and arteries on my skull. It is really annoying but gets better everyday. What do you think?
566175 tn?1278430472 I have self diagnoses plantar fasciitis in both my feet... And I am trying to concieve so I haven't gone to the dr. yet. (Afraid they will advise surgery or even xrays, etc. )Any ideas on what i can do to repair my feet? Please help the pain is terrible, especially when i get out of bed in the morning!! Also, if i do go to the dr -- should i go to a foot dr. or an orthopedic dr?
Avatar f tn If the pain is close to the heel, and it is worse in the morning, then it is likely plantar fasciitis. The pain from plantar fasciitis usually diminishes as you walk on it. (at least at firsts) You could also be describing symptoms of neuropathy (are you diabetic?) The pins & needle description tends to indicate a possibility of diabetic neuropathy. If you have flat feet, then you may have posterior tibial tendon disfunction.
Avatar f tn I went to doctors and they took xrays and said I do have bone spurs and he thought the pain was plantar fasciitis. On the side of my feet? Huts mostly when it is touching something and wearing shoes. Will this go away in time? Would a cortisone shot help?
Avatar n tn and he told me that i had Plantar Fasciitis. It causes pain and inflammation of a thick band of tissue, called the plantar fascia, that runs across the bottom of your foot and connects your heel bone to your toes. Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. Plantar fasciitis commonly causes stabbing pain that usually occurs with your very first steps in the morning.
Avatar f tn Be patient, because it can take weeks or even months for plantar fasciitis to clear up entirely, whether you use all of these cures or just one. But you'll be surprised by how quickly things can improve to a tolerable level if you use the right combination of therapies. As for the Neuropathic pain try benfotiamine it's (S-benzoylthiamine-O-monophosphate). Google benfotiamine As always check with her doctor first.
Avatar f tn sounds like plantar fasciitis. go to footscript.com...it is a great website which can tell you how to treat plantar fasciitis. supportive shoes, calf stretches, and icing can do wonders.
Avatar f tn First diagnose was Plantar Fasciitis and I was treated with injections and a walker boot and also PT. Six months later I was diagnosed with fractures in both heels and have been in two casts, crutches and another walking boot. I am still in pain! I just had an MRI that shows Marrow Edema in four bones of my foot. What does this mean? I do not see the Dr. again for two weeks! I can't be on my feet for any length of time with suffering excruciating pain!
Avatar f tn i've got Plantar Fasciitis also and had surger on left foot and symtoms in right foot, oh boy what a mistake having the surgery the after effects has been going on since early Dec 09 with a couple more injection to break up scare tissue. for my right foot i did stretching excerizes several times aday to my calf and actually i don't have much issues with it anymore.
Avatar f tn Hi, most frequently heel pain is not the result of any single injury, such as a fall or twist, but rather the result of repetitive or excessive heel pounding. There could be some important causes like Plantar fasciitis which is inflammation of the thick connective tissue on the sole of your foot that attaches to your heel. The pain is usually felt at the bottom of your heel and is often worse in the morning because of stiffness that occurs overnight.
