Re: New to group - which came first -- flat feet or weak adrenals?

tendonitis continues?<<

Your temdinitis could easily be the resulkt of your weak adrenals or low

thyroid. I get tendinitis in my right arm from lwo thyroid and it goes away

perfectly when my thyroid is properly treated. Low cortiosl causes the htyroid

to no t work properly in your body so you get many of the sympotms of low

thyroid even with normal thyroid labs.

My second child has flat feet, so I got her arch supports and it has

helped her tremendously. This company was excellent to deal with and

was fast with their shipping. It might give some relief to your knees

if other supports haven't worked. Just remember that weak adrenals

can take up to three years to come back, and without energy it's hard

to make those muscles work-I have very bad tendonitis in my hip and

was told that it will take physical therapy-but not now since I need

to ramp up my adrenals first; and I'm hoping that as my energy levels

go up I will be able to make my muscles stronger on my own without the

physical therapy torture. It can be a slow process to turn

everything around-I know you're suffering, but try to be patient

Yes, Sheila, I wish I could say that patience is my middle name, but I

guess I can't. I have a good podiatrist now (at least I think so), and

I have done a gait analysis with her and have custom-made orthodics. I

guess I really " torqued " my knees walking with flat feet for too long.

I have done LOTS of PT but have given up until hormones strengthen and

muscles hold. I appreciate your understanding.

I've noticed a few threads about foot issues with adrenal issues

including flat feet and smaller feet. I've read one of the causes is

loss of collagen, which can be caused by many vit and mineral

deficiencies, esp. vitamin C, which the adrenals also need for better

function. I'd try the arch supports (which someone mentioned), but also

make sure you are taking plenty of vit C.

Cathy,

I have been taking vitamin C ascorbate since November and I do have

custom-made orthodics (arch supports). I think I have not been

utilizing my vitamin supplements due to DHEA depletion.

[Guest guest]

I was wondering if anyone had any luck with seeing a chiro for over

pronation? I already wear orthodics but I have to get them adjusted

every 2-3 months. I can ruin a pair of shoes in 3 weeks time and it

is getting expensive.

How do these insoles work compared to orthodics?

Thanks for any help,
