Guest guest Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 My husband has struggled with this. He says to buy some Superfeet innersoles. If that doesn't help, you can get a simple splint (online or through a podiatrist) that pulls your toe up dorsiflected at night and stretches out the sole of the foot.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 So please explain to me what it is, then we'll know it by it's real name. Actually, I've always heard of planters wart, never planters fascitis. You have to know it to use it.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 This explanation is from walkingabout.com* Plantar fasciitis* is that pain in the bottom of your foot that especially hurts first thing in the morning when you try to get out of bed and stand on it, or after sitting for awhile. It is caused by wounding the tough fascia connective tissue on the bottom of your foot. This band runs from your heel to the ball of your foot. It supports your arch and it transmits your weight across the bottom of the foot with each step you take. If the plantar fascia gets bruised or over-stretched, the inflammation causes the heel and foot pain. It can also get partially detached from the heel and a calcium deposit can form - a heel spur.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 So are we saying as we get in our later years and the feet and ankles seem to stiffen, where we have to walk slow and get them to bend and stretch when we first get up the same thing? It only gets painful after a couple of hours on the road.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 The item my husband has heard gives good results is the Dorsal PF Night Splint. You can read about it on http://www.heelandfootpain.com . I have stiffness in my feet sometimes and no, I don't think it's the same thing at all.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 Wear shoes with good support or get good inserts and take anti-inflammatorys and maybe a good cream. Like Wobenzyme, Arinca Rub or TriFlora, MSM ???? or some such thing.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 Thank you Kathy. I usually wear Reabock tennis shoes which come with a support in them, and I'm taking Tumeric blend, msm, and using Calm for my Magnesium, along with Bone Strength for my calsium. I've never been able to get Nikki to fit right. Re: Plantar fasciitis Wear shoes with good support or get good inserts and take anti-inflammatorys and maybe a good cream.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 I'll see if I can find the rub, that might help too.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 I have heard that New Balance shoes are the best for support. I have just recently also gotten an insert that seems to be good for my feet. I have a very high arch and most regular shoe support isn't enough.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 Thanks for the advice - I usually have shoes with good support - but lately I have been wearing sandals, it has been over 100 most of the summer. I will look for the cream - I am leary about using ibuprofen, naproxen sodium, and tylenol on a regular basis. Is there an anti-inflammatory that doesn't harm you in some way?

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 Sorry I sounded offended. I wasn't. And I was just too blunt--please forgive me. I realize the fascia is the anatomical part, but it is the inflammation, the " itis " that is the problem, that's all. And I've been around long enough to know how to write a more friendly e-mail, and didn't take the time.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 Solaray - Turmeric and Turmeric Special Formula Solgar - Bioflavnoids Springboard - Curcumin (turmeric) Cream I forgot this cream, it is new. Check it out at www.sb3.com You just have to be careful, it will stain. Vit C is always helpful. Also MSM may help.

Arnica is not the right one for this - the fascia is more like a ligament, so Rhus-t or Ruta (or best a matched remedy) may help better. Arnica is more for muscle strain where Rhus-t and Ruta are more for ligament damage. Fascia is more like ligament than muscle. NAmaste, IRene -- Irene de Villiers, B.Sc AASCA MCSSA D.I.Hom/D.Vet.Hom.
