Planter Fasciitis and exercise?!


Question:

Planter Fasciitis and exercise?

I have planter fasciitis, a heel spur and ankle pain. I have also developed a nodule on my right achilles tendon. I work at a large hospital so I am on concrete floors walking between 3 and 5 miles a day.. I have worn a pedometer. I have litterally worn out my newest good shoes in 3 months.. and worn out 2 pair of scrub pants in 6 months.. working part time!

I take aniti-inflamitory meds and sometimes a darvocet when the pain gets real bad. I roll my feet over frozen water bottles, I do the stretching excersizes, rest with my feet up etc... but my feet still hurt.

I pick up custome made orthotics this week. I Know that if I could lose weight it would help. But how do I burn calories if I cant stand to be on my feet? (besides diet.. I am working on that end too) I cant walk, I cant ride a bike (ankles) or use the elipitical. Areobics are out too.

Any suggestions? Should I ask the doc about a cortisone injection? Have you ever had the injections? Did it help?


Answers:

Wow it sounds like you need a different job. The only way your foot will heal is to rest it, the way you're constantly on it, it won't heal and will get worse, no matter what you take or do.
