All spring & summer I have been rehabing Plantar faciaits - heel spur & Morton's neuroma & now , just walking to the mailbox something ripped in my foot!
It created black & blue marks on the right side of my foot from my big toe at the floor line all the way to my ankle and they up to my ankle bone. I iced it right a way . WOW it hurt !
Any ideas? Short course starts for me Oct 4th.
Ouch! I'm sorry to hear that for you! Glad you can still get in the water while you heal. I been dealing with a plantar fasciitis since May. I'd say it's about 75% better. I researched a bit. I think the most helpful things for me were:
1) www.saveyourself.com and then you buy a little tutorial on-line about whatever you want. The guy that writes it is not selling any products or supplements. He just reviews all the literature for you, and "translates" into something that works. I've read tutorials on plantar fasciitis, low back pain, neck pain, runner's knee etc. First one you buy is like $15.00 I think.
2)dorsal night splint. Hard formed plastic on the anterior surface of your lower leg and foot. Velcro underneathe to keep in place. Has the advantage over other night splints in that you can walk short distances without falling (to the bathroom in middle of night), and it leaves your heel and plantar surface free to ice even while splint is in place.
3)raw ice--lots and often. in little circles on bottom of foot in little plastic "popsicle" holder.
Anyway, sounds like you have something on beyond just plantar fasciitis, but I posted the above for anybody interested. Hope you feel better soon!!
