Plantar Fasciitis anyone?

[Noodle]

Amy1576 my vionics arrived yesterday and I don't limp when I'm wearing them! So thst has to be good!
I'm finding they're quite uncomfortable under my rather flat arch, not surprisingly. Did that feeling go off for you and how long did it take?

I have high hopes for them! Thanks for recommending. I got them sale price as well.

Noodle how are you doing?

Surprisingly enough, I've noticed a significant improvement over the last few weeks, just making the switch from flats to low heels.

I've ditched all my flat shoes for now, but may reintroduce them slowly in a few months, restricting myself to wearing them for just a limited amount of time.

Having worn my Vioncs now all week I can report they are very helpful and I'm able to walk without a limp!

They help so much I even put them on to visit the bathroom in the night lol

However if I don't wear them, my symptoms are the same. Is it just a matter of time?

I've had this since my wedding 3 years ago didn't think of anything serious at first just thought it was because of the 1 inch wedding shoes from the day before. 3 months later I mentioned it to dad who is a nurse and he told me what it was. Luckily I visited his friend who is a podiatrist who gave me insoles and I wear sensible shoes or fit flops and a very good husband who would massage my feet every night for months. I still suffer now and my calfs get really stiff so a good massage will help as well.

I'm pleased to report that in the main, my feet are much better than they were a few months ago.

I still get the odd episode of painful heels, but I've found I can control it more easily and flat shoes are a distant memory.

I had it in both feet at the arch bit. I bought sketchers shoes and its totally gone now. Only shoes I will wear now

 

[blossom]

Noodle glad to hear that [emoji5]️

mrsb35 I hope they help you! They're all I wear now, as I still limp without them.

I've been to a physio and she's given me done exercises to do, as she feels mine is caused by glutes & thighs, no change yet however. Ive had acupuncture once, second session next week

Good luck Blossom, I hope the acupuncture helps you, eventually.

I've found that wearing flat shoes triggers the symptoms again for me, so I'm now avoiding them as much as possible.

I may have to move to somthing with a kettle heel ta!! Xsx

I'm wearing Orthapedic sandals all the time now, it stops me limping and supports my low arch (although that in itself isn't particularly comfortable as my foot doesn't like the pressure from the arch support so feels a bit bruised all the time)

Titterbug you poor thing, I can well imagine that scenario if both my feet were like my right one [emoji30]

My friend who also has it, is getting the steroid injection on Wednesday so will feed back

That will be really interesting Blossom, as someone at the start of your thread recomended avoiding the injection at all costs.

I know, two of my clients have had it and say it's gone within a few days. I just can't bear the thought that it might make it worse [emoji33][emoji33][emoji33][emoji33][emoji33][emoji33][emoji33][emoji33][emoji33]

Mine's getting better with self management, so I think I'll persevere for now.

What do you think you're going to do Blossom?

 

[blossom]

I'm loathe to have the injection unless I get desperate tbh but I'm pleased for her, she gave her job up because of all the standing she did

I'm managing with my Vionics shoes for now, still limp without them. Some mornings it's not as crippling as others. I'm trying to lose a bit of weight to see if that will help (well it won't hurt!) altho m friend is really skinny anyway so who knows?

I've given up my exercises the physio gave me as it made a different part of my foot really painful [emoji33]

 

[Titterbug]

I have ordered one of these...don't know if it will work but I will give it a shot...let you know when it comes http://heelease.co.uk/?gclid=CKf_6dLn884CFcYV0wod2nMKjQ
