But, the middle is fine

[susandennis]

My tooth pulling stitches are still there but the hole is clearly getting better.  This morning I got up and discovered that the opposite end was whining... my heel.  I had Plantar Fashionista once but I actually forgot what it felt like.  Today I looked up heel pain with no injury and bam... there it was.  Crap.  I also don't remember how I managed to get rid of it.  Stretching, I guess.

The good news is that it has zero affect on my swimming so I'm giving it a giant raspberry.

And swimming today was good.  My least favorite lifeguard quit.

Plantar Fashionista! Ha!

PT trick for plantar fasciitis: Take plastic water bottle. Fill with water 3/4 the way up and stick in freezer. After frozen, take it out and roll it back and forth under your heel and arch. You get the icing and the massage all in one :)

Oh! I'd forgotten about that trick. Sticking bottle in freezer right now. Thank you!!

I had a lot of trouble with my heal over this when we were in Florida two weeks ago.
I found favoring my heel actually make it worse. Don't know if it would work for you, but when I actually walked on my heel it felt better.

Thanks for the tip.

The heel pain comes and goes. I'll get it really bad for months, and then it will just fade away and leave me alone for a year or two.

I can probably live with that.

I buy heel pads and extra comfy walking shoes during the bad times. Plus stretching exercises help. Next time I see you, I'll show you what I do to help the heel pain.

Deal!
