I know what my problems are, but she seems to just have bad feet. I hope she gets some good insight from this and maybe asks her doctor about seeing a specialist for some further info!!<br /><br />Thanks girly!!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00734568506481322298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2766979281274584481.post-31753418854177241052013-07-04T08:46:11.269-04:002013-07-04T08:46:11.269-04:00Okay were you snooping on me yesterday?

I was back at the physiotherapist yesterday as my PF has flared up again in my left foot, so has the Sinus Tarsus as well.... sigh my feet are a mess! My problem is VERY tight and muscular calves.... I've got calves a man would be jealous of! Speaking from personal experience... I've done all of the above treatments and I would avoid the cortisone injections if you can. I had a bad case in my right foot years ago and the sports Dr. did several cortisone injections which led to me partially tearing the PF in my right foot! That put me off of any activity for a year! Also a cortisone injection into the heel of the foot is the most painful thing I have ever experienced! And I've got a good tolerance for pain... like screaming into the pillow painful! People should be aware that multiple cortisone injections will cause a break down/weakening/dammage of tendons and ligaments. Something I didn't know back then... I would use that as a last option and I wouldn't do it more than once or twice.<br /><br />I recommend a good physiotherapist!<br /><br />We did try an experimental treatment in my right food called prolotherapy, it is injection of saline into the dammaged ligaments. This kick starts a healing cycle and the ligaments start to produce new collagen. Since I had prolotherapy and lost weight I've never had trouble with my right foot again. I'm seeing my Sports Dr again on Sat and I'm going to ask him about Prolotherapy for my left foot for both conditions, I'm also willing to try a Cortisone injection in the Sinus Tarsus a second time but no more than that (and no where near painful like the PF).<br /><br />Gosh I feel like I"m an expert on foot problems!Dani - tkdchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08304768491192625890noreply@blogger.com
