knowschad Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 I have been getting a sore left foot recently (probably down to the weight Im carrying) Im noticing it more where the foot path slopes to the left rather than the right. It seems to be the bone that leads from my wee toe up the side of my foot. That doesn't sound like PF or an achille's tendon problem to me, or anything else that I've experienced. See a doctor if it doesn't go away soon, though. Quote Link to comment
+Semper Questio Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 To save time, if you wanna see my whole story check out my Frankenfeet Blog. Before that event I also had been dealing with PF for about 2 years. That hasn't been so much of a problem since, oh, about Jan of last year. I'll apologize in advance for the long post, but there is a lot to cover here. <snip> Good luck to everyone dealing with this stuff! SQ Wow! I looked at your blog a bit, and I am awestruck! You've been through hell and back. Glad to hear that things have improved so much for you. You have provided a wealth of information in your post. It will be a great resource for a lot of people, I'm sure. My single experience with a podiatrist was as laughable as it was wasted money. If I have further problems, I will take your advice and find a good foot and ankle orthopedic specialist. I found that their Association has a page that lets you find members near you: Find an Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle MD/DO (They also have lots of other useful information such as lacing techniques, shoe selection, etc) Thanks. Hope some of the pics didn't freak you out too much! For anyone in Central Texas having issues, I have links to my surgeon, pedortho, and rehab folks on the blog page. I STRONGLY recommend them all. If others are looking for pedortho folks in their area, give my guy a call and see if he can recommend anyone in your area. He's been doing it for over 35 years and knows other good ones all over the country! Quote Link to comment
+popokiiti Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I am not alone! Thank goodness for that...left heel pain in the a.m. - hobble to the bathroom to get ready for work, where I am on my feet for up to 10 hours. Left ankle I turned, while feeding the addiction..in my "high top" hiking boots. Ball of right foot sore and burning.........I need a podiatrist, obviously!!! I also put my back out last year - picking a sliver of soap out of the bathroom sink. I was doing the exercises you mentioned as I was reading...and will do so when I can at work.....

Not all of that sounds like PF to me, but the morning heel pain and hobbling sure does. But who knows... when you hurt in one area, you compensate, and in doing so, can cause other symptoms and problems. Quote Link to comment
