Plantar fasciitis

Thank you for reporting back Lucky I would be extremely grateful if you could update us in a few days when perhaps it might've had chance to take effect. It is something I have discussed with my GP and I am considering having them too. Mine shifts about around my heel and into the side of the arch of my foot too, so sometimes hard to pinpoint the exact place.

I have had this for nearly three years now in both feet, some days i can’t walk, i have tried socks, ice, creams, reflexology, inserts in my shoes i have had shock wave therapy didnt work. The list is endless. There are two things that help me one is my oh massages my feet but with a lot of pressure hurts like hell but gives relief for a few hours after and the other is orthapedic flip flops i bought them off amazon and wear them all the time. I only dont wear them if its raining, i have got used to the funny looks i get wearing flip flops in the winter.

I’m sitting with my foot elevated. It does ache a bit but really not bad at all. I was so worried about the pain shifting around but apparently, it doesn’t matter, the steroid will spread out and cover even the back edges of your heel which is where I felt it most. Last time the pain was all in my instep and it hurt like mad but I wasnt offered an injection at all. I paid for laser treatment, made to measure shoe liners, special shoes, travelled miles to see recommended specialists etc but I’m convinced that time is the healer, it just takes time. I hope that this injection will circumvent all that. My GP did say it doesn’t always work however but he’d done his 90 year old dad in both feet and it worked. I wouldn’t hesitate but get it done when you can. I’ll update in a couple of days, here’s hoping.

The fear of the injection is far worse than the injection itself.
It was years ago since I had them. They lasted u to 4 months at a time.
A very accomplished Chiropractor that I visited suggested that I massaged my heel with a golf ball.
Either seated or standing place a golf ball on the floor under the painful heel and press your heel down on the golf ball and rotate your heel around it, effectively massaging the painful area.
It worked for me.

Just to update a week later. It’s not a miracle cure for me. It’s better but if I’m on my feet a long time, it still aches but nothing as bad or painful at all. I did Zumba yesterday and didn’t feel it until after. Certainly worth trying if you can get it.

Thank you for update Lucky
