What helped the most was seeing a physical therapist who knew about an interesting process of taping my heel. It took awhile but started feeling better right away.<br />Also, I'm learning something called Chi Walking. It's lower impact on all limbs, including feet. It's changing the way I stand also (like in the kitchen). Amazing how our bodies talk to us in foreign languages... And it's a challenge to be patient enough to listen and know what is being said.StefandLinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14412393969202497882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098032728450352522.post-16473983242649737742010-08-26T09:28:38.047-07:002010-08-26T09:28:38.047-07:00As the saying goes “Old age ain’t for sissies”.

Haven't been bothered since. You can exercise off your foot doing stretching exercises and stationary bicycling.Great Grandma Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11791149428495689835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098032728450352522.post-34700490077747133282010-08-25T14:02:40.281-07:002010-08-25T14:02:40.281-07:00I'm sorry you are experiencing so much discomf...I'm sorry you are experiencing so much discomfort. That's no fun! Glad the doc is optimistic that the plantar fasciitis and allergies will clear up eventually. Hope so!

I'm glad you went to the doctor. It's a bummer that all he could tell you is that you're doing the right things. My niece had plantar fasciitis and orthotics helped her.DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098032728450352522.post-21362783903119614952010-08-25T12:44:29.425-07:002010-08-25T12:44:29.425-07:00Ain't it the pits?

Cholesterol, osteoporosis, diabetes and I don't know what else. My knees hurt every so often, shin splints and now my baby fingers are swollen at the joint. I haven't had plantar faciitis yet though.

That suits me just fine. I do see my acupuncturist for my junky knees and he keeps me moving amazingly well. The allergies can be a pain in the whatever, but they come and go with the seasons.<br />Gland you're going to a Sounders match this evening! That's the best medicine ever!
