Plantar Fasciitis

[boomersooner]

Going to the ortho next week because I think that is what I have, too....I already wear tennis shoes all of the time....never go barefoot....For those of you who have it.....the heel pain is located in my left heel, but I'm feeling it now in my right. Also, both feet ache with shooting pains...Is that what you all have experienced? I'm sure he'll give me exercises and such, too.

If you're feeling it in the other foot, you have it in both feet. This is pretty common because it's brought on by the same conditions. I was having terrible stabbing pains in the heel(I have had a lesser case in the other foot). I think I was having aching too. It was so much pain, I think it just hurt the whole foot. I can't remember for sure. Now, if I feel the stabbing pains starting again, I start the stretches right away. Actually, it's good to do them all the time when you have a chance.

I have this as well.

It started when I started wearing Crocs. I loved those shoes, I'm lazy and a comfort hound, so they were the perfect shoes for me! Ugly or not, I wore them all the time. After a couple months, my feet started to hurt. Badly. And it got worse. Finally I read somewhere that Crocs, clogs, flip flops, etc. are bad news. I got a pair of tennis shoes, and I always wear arch supports, and it helps. But even then, if I'm on my feet all day, I can barely walk by evening.

Some shoes work for me, and some don't. I have a brand new pair of adorable Sketchers, that I can't wear, they kill my feet. So do most skate shoes, sadly, I think they are so cute and can't wear them. I have a pair of DC's sitting in my closet for the same reason. I love my Zoo York high tops, though, and I will cry when they wear out. Ok, so I'm a forty-one year old grandma wearing hot pink and grey high tops with little skulls on them ... but my feet don't hurt! LOL!
