I could easily have ignored it except for the fact that I was very physically active at the time. <BR/><BR/>Whatever it is, I hope it improves and soon!art-sweethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07421342770323258531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23595554.post-1156292400100587882006-08-22T20:20:00.000-04:002006-08-22T20:20:00.000-04:00I hope it's not a stress fracture (which I'm curre...I hope it's not a stress fracture (which I'm currently dealing with). They usually cannot be diagnosed with a regular xray but rather an MRI.<BR/><BR/>I've also had PF and had to get some custom orthotic inserts from the podiatrist - you can only wear them in flat, lace-up shoes, but they helped a lot.<BR/><BR/>And, stretching was mandatory.<BR/><BR/>Foot/ankle problems are disgusting beyond reason. I hope you get an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.Minnesota Nicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02170043587010711783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23595554.post-1156285361021784352006-08-22T18:22:00.000-04:002006-08-22T18:22:00.000-04:00I heard of plantar fascitis (sp?) when I was in yo...I heard of plantar fascitis (sp?) when I was in yoga and the instructor mentioned it.<BR/><BR/>It's pretty painful, but stretching helps. I'm sure they'll give exercises to help with it.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11082031887238694358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23595554.post-1156284466033539742006-08-22T18:07:00.000-04:002006-08-22T18:07:00.000-04:00Thanks guys, I feel fine (apart from the sharp pai...Thanks guys, I feel fine (apart from the sharp pain when I put my foot flat on the floor) and it gives me an excuse to wear heels all the time. I may try experimenting with wearing them on the treadmill, too.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03517970132656406031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23595554.post-1156279261743477892006-08-22T16:41:00.000-04:002006-08-22T16:41:00.000-04:00I hope you're feeling better soon!!I hope you're feeling better soon!!Kerri.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11463843830570716380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23595554.post-1156275799098167012006-08-22T15:43:00.000-04:002006-08-22T15:43:00.000-04:00The fact that it feels ok when you are on tiptoe m...The fact that it feels ok when you are on tiptoe makes it sound like an achilles tendon problem. <BR/><BR/>I would tend to think that though, being rather too overfamiliar with achilles tendon problems for my liking, I can't help it springing to mind!<BR/><BR/>Hope it gets better soon anyway.Carohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00929832334541425338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23595554.post-1156274276607003542006-08-22T15:17:00.000-04:002006-08-22T15:17:00.000-04:00Yikes!I hope everything is Ok!!Yikes!<BR/><BR/>I hope everything is Ok!!Scott K.
