A pain in my FOOT!?!?!?!
|
Most who know me know that I live most days in some sort of shoe that has a heel or wedge. As much as I complain about my height I love the look of long legs. Last summer I developed some weird pain in my left foot. I decided until the pain goes away, I will stop wearing heels. The pain never really went away and I never really stopped wearing heels. I just walked through the pain. It was never anything so terrible that I was bed ridden or had to take anything for it. At that time, my foot would only hurt on occasion when I walk for a long time in heels. I talked to my Aunt who is a physical therapist. She suggested that I may have Plantar Fasciitis She showed me some exercises and massages to do to help stretch the muscle in my foot that was causing the pain. She also suggested I stop going for the cute shoes and opt for the comfortable ones. My reply I continued to wear heels. And the pain continued to get worse. A few months ago, I asked the physical therapist here at work about my foot pains. She too suggested that I may have Plantar Fasciitis. She also showed me some exercises to stretch the muscle in my foot and suggested that I ice it from time to time. I continued to wear heels. And the pain continued to get worse. At first the pain was every few days. Now it�s everyday. Today, it�s really bad. I am walking with a slight limp. I am still wearing my heels. I refuse to believe that I have a foot problem. But my foot problem is getting worse. Much worse. On occasion I wear my flat shoes. Mostly on days that I know I will be walking around the medical center a lot. Even on those days with the flat shoes on, my foot still aches. At night when I finally lay down to rest, I get these sudden pains that shoot through my foot that last for a few minutes. I guess I should look into seeing a podiatrist so that he can also tell me that I have Plantar Fasciitis, give me more exercises that I need to do for my foot and tell me to stop wearing heels. The day I stop walking is the day I will stop wearing my heels! Until that day comes, I will pop two Tylenols and keep strutting in my cute, painful heels. |
