Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / September 2005faciitis pain
Dose anyone have any suggestions on how to relieve the pain from facsiitis? My feet are so drawn I cannot walk. along with my neuropathy and arthritis now this faciitis has came to homestead. wow does it hurt. I have rubbed . I have stayed off them and done all I know to do and no relief. Ive read several sites on internet about it but thought some of you had a first hand help for it. Please let me know how you got relief, it is in my arch area. thanks Janice Stretching them might help. Before you get up in the morning, (bring a long towel to bed night before). Put this towel around the ball of your foot and pull with knees bent. Pull on both sides of the towel, while doing so, stretch your foot down with the toes and up with the toes and pull on the towel NOT hard just enough you can tell. Do this for 10 seconds ( count a one and two ) about 3 times with each foot. Then later in the day or when ever, do it again while setting in a chair with your feet elevated on the recliner foot rest, if no recliner do the couch. Another stretch is standing on a step with the tips of your toes or just inside the toes. Tip up and then drop the foot down below the step and stretch. Do this for 3 sessions and count the stretches for 10. I am just had a few therapy sessions on PT for this. Plus podiatrist fit me with inserts, NOT the kind from the store. You have to be fitted and Medicare I believe pays for this, but not sure... Now this is MY OPINION maybe you might want to see the podiatrist and or call a PT department and make sure it is facitis pain first... good luck janers Ice, stretching, ice, ice, rest, and orthotics. When none of those helped we had to stop the stretching altogether and let it rest completely with ice, ice, ice. Eventually it took 3 cortisone shots to settle it down. This first worked for short time, second a couple of months and the 3rd almost for good. I still have problems if I don't wear my runners and orthotics all the time (which of coure in the summer I have a tendency not to do so it is flaring right now.) Hope that hurts - I sympathize. Don't forget shoes on even in the house Kelly > Stretching them might help.

Good luck. we feel your pain/ Uv Kelly, Did they give you shots in the heels for that? My RD is telling me that he won't do shots there. My heels are so tender, and I have Achilles tendonitiis so bad in both feet/legs, as well as ever worsening pain in the balls of both feet (at the base of the toes). I am at my wits end. It's hard to do those exercise listed above when the balls of your feet also hurt. Two weekends ago, I scored a free Dr. Scholls foot massager with massage vibration. It helps a little bit for about half an hour. I wonder why my RD won't help me out with shots. I have had them everywhere else??? I wish it would go away, NOW Charlene Hi Charlene, Sorry, haven't been around much this week. My one was in the bottom of the heel and one in the arch area and the second sort of in between. I know this is an area that is hard to inject and definitely they own't do the achilles tendon as it will be made worse and can rupture the tendon very easily. That could be why he doesn't want to do it. I definitely was not allowed injections in that part of the heel - for that I did a lot of physio and heel lifts. For the achilles tendonitis try heel lifts. You might have to experiment to get the right high pad - even an eighth of an inch made a difference. Ice is really important - I also used the frozen water bottle or frozen cucumber and rolled it back and forth. I will say it took me a long time for both and took some rest and always wearing runners and orthotics even in the house. We have been at wedding stuff for the last two days and even though I had on good flat sandals my fasciitis pain is back and the achilles tendon is swollen. Will take constant runners and ice to get it back under control. Kelly > Kelly, > Did they give you shots in the heels for that?

I will try the exercise and the ice until then thanks all for your help Janice | Dose anyone have any suggestions on how to relieve the pain from facsiitis? | My feet are so drawn I cannot walk. along with my neuropathy and arthritis [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] | thanks | Janice Janice, I ended up having to get mine injected to get them to finally settle down, but stretching and icing were definitely of some help. To ice, fill a water bottle with water and put in freezer and let it freeze. Then take it out and put on floor and roll your foot over it. This helps to both ice it and massage it a bit. Good luck to you, sure hope you find some relief soon! Donna G |
