Plantar fascitis

Had heel pain in both feet for weeks and weeks. My cousin described her symptoms when she had this and it sounds similar.

Anyone else ever had it and how long for?

Fucking Krebs in the morning and after being on my feet for a while, which is somewhat inconvenient.

    This!!! In the mid-80's I used to sell the steroid injection (ironically that I had into both my big toes the other week). One of my best customers was Arthur Morris, orthopaedic consultant, who was W

Mine’s more around the traditional heel area

Eased up a little

 

Tried flip flops; they help a bit

Ha ha, good point 

Slippers round the house are a must, bare foot is out the equation

NHS online says

overweight folks from 40-60

You’re far too young!

Well slippers do help.

However, so far two applications of cbd ointment and definitely some pain reduction. Swelling and heat eased a little.

Might try the stronger concoction she bought next.

Been walking like a sedated ape, hopefully will improve.

First got it after a long weekend walking round Rome in the wrong footwear 

Now it’s generally running related

Definitely working. Holland and Barrett's cbd ointment.

Right, been worse recently than at any time. Heel hot, red and swollen. Purple bruising too.

Just applied cbd ointment- will report back!

Doesn't sound like PF to me, unless you're going OTT with exercises 

aye, it sounds grim

I thought it was just about the bottom of your foot being sore when you got up and tried to walk first thing

that sounds like something else has gone wrong to me

It is, but more permanent. Just recently one foot just got worse. That said, walking dogs and pushing mowers about doesn't really give them a break.

I presumed the reddish bruising was just a bit of leakage from the plantar area from continually being worked. Also found my toes curling downwards- an involuntary movement to reduce pain when walking.

In all seriousness, this cbd based stuff genuinely does seem to be working. The Mrs, heard a couple of tales from people about how it had had wonderful results for their issues. Seems a very powerful anti-inflammatory.

Where's Kent when you need him?

Ambience. 50mg cbd. In a white tub in a cardboard box. £12.

She also bought some stronger stuff from the vape store next to boots in the arndale. Not tried it yet. £40 for 57g of stuff, contains 150mg of cbd.

You'll be fine now your foot is off it's tits.

Woke up with a spliff between my toes.

Wouldn't be for everyone but if you'd rather smoke/dry vape you can buy it online in flower form with no THC in so you don't get high you just get the effects of the CBD.

Given the medication I'm on, and the years of strife previously, there's no way I'll smoke anything.

A topical application onto the affected area will do for me. Voltarol etc have done jack shit, but this does seem to be helping a bit.

It’s back, again 

Assuming it’s related to running again, as I have ramped up in recent weeks / months 

Need to get some custom insoles for my running trainers to help support the arch of my foot when running 

What's the running place called that does the gait analysis?

Without going through the thread Birch what’s the issue?

Tobutts at Astley bridge

Plantar fasciitis 

Got it 5 years ago after walking round Rome with rubbish shoes on. Has come back intermittently ever since, usually linked to when I ramp up the running 

I need to warm up and down a lot more than I do, hard finding the time when I’m already squeezing a run in. Don’t think a new pair of trainers have helped, need to get my hair done again and she’ll out for the custom insoles to protect the arch of my foot 

Physio will help but god knows when they are going to be open 

It’s driving me more and more towards cycling as that doesn’t give me any issues 

Don't know if it's open but think Campcraft in town have the full kit to do bespoke insoles.

Tobutt's are really good, but i don't know if they will be doing it atm, you can only ask them and see what they say, I'm fair certain it can be done socially distanced...

 

Mine's seemed to have faded away but last time I ran was for the ice cream van.. More for walking now.
