Maybe not so bad

After my walk this morning, my feet were both broken - in different places. One had kind of a permanent cramp and the other one had some other issue in the ball of the foot. Both hurt a bunch and so did my back and I couldn't catch my breath. Every time I got up to pee or do anything, everything hurt and I was panting.

I was really kind of depressed about it. I blamed the medication change and didn't want to go back.

But, then I got up to go downstairs to the home owners board meeting and discovered that I felt much better. Feet, back and lungs. So maybe it's not fatal after all.

The meeting was stressful as usual but blissfully only 45 minutes. I showed my support by being there. I can handle it once a month.

Now I'm having fried Cherios with Diet Dr. Pepper for dinner. Delicious. They are whole wheat Cherios, I think, so a pretty healthy dinner!

This sounds a bit like you could be developing plantar fasciitis in both feet-- the symptoms can vary. Simply stretching the foot by pulling up on your toe (loop a towel under it if you can't reach comfortably) helps a lot. Some folks also freeze a plastic bottle full of water, and roll it under their foot when it hurts.

Kayre is right...also, stretch your feet out for a good minute or so before you ever get out of bed.

Thanks to both of you but I have had plantar fasciitis and this isn't it. It's an entirely different feeling.

Even better, because PF sucks! So, probably just your foot muscles adjusting to the added work. Keep at it!
