I was diagnosed with this a couple months ago and the last two months have been hell. I think the thing that upsets me the most is that I can't workout and I have gained weight. I want to workout so bad. I have a new treadmill waiting here and it is not being used. Ugh!
The pain is just unbearable at times and I just want to cut my foot off. And some days I can manage no problem. Some days I wake up and my first thought is "am I going to be in pain ad soon as my feet hit the ground or not."
Yesterday I went to the Dr. I finally got him to agree to a cortisone shot. He still didny want to do it but Steve convinced him since I was in a lot of pain. The shot hurt like HELL but feels much better today.
So the Dr told me if I want this to heal and heal properly that I have to do these few things religiously..
1) Never EVER go barefoot. Always wear my tennis shoes with good support and orthotic inserts even yo go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Ugh!! Right!! I can just see me lacing up my tennis shoes and tying them to go pee. Argh!!
2) Ice it 2-3 times a day for 30 mins
3) Wear special orthotics just for this.
4) Take 600mgs of motrin 3 times a day.
I can do all these.. yes I can but the fact of wearing shoes 24/7 really bugs me. I hate hate hate wearing shoes at home. : ( so this will be a big adjustment.
Wish me luck that this heals now with all the above. I am not going to gain anymore weight. I refuse!!
