It will hurt like hell while they are doing it, but it will help in the long run. My kinesiology professor did it on mine in class and it was gone the next day! He said it normally takes a few treatments though.TonyaIndyrose & lt;indyrose@... & gt; wrote: Unfortunately, it sounds to me like it is... but I'm not a doctor.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 That's what I'm leaning towards. I've had this in the past but mostly it was when the kids were little and toys were all over. I'd step on a toy and then would have this same kind of pain for weeks on end. I have pretty sensitive feet anyway so I'm leaning in that direction. The bruised shoulder sounds awful! Thanks, Vennitta! Re: heel pain Could it be bruised? Bone bruises don't radiate and can come about in ways you might not notice when it happens. I bruised my shoulder once (doing Pilates rolls), I didn't feel it when I bruised the shoulder but when the blood set into the bone I thought I'd cracked it. Ultimately I had to just wait it out, you might want to ice your heel and see if that gives you any relief. Vennitta Okay, so the weird pain in my foot is gone (that was on the bottom, near the top, far from my heel). I'm glad about that! But, I've had this weirdly sore heel for a couple of weeks now (same foot). I've had it before, mostly because I've stepped on something, but I don't remember stepping on anything and it is lasting longer than it usually seems to (and it usually does last quite a while). It is on the bottom of my heel, towards the back and is always just there, even when I'm sitting with my feet resting on the floor. The soreness doesn't radiate. It is not terrible at all, I guess you'd really call it "discomfort" instead of "pain," and doesn't interfere with anything I want to do, including high impact cardio but I am aware of it. My comfy cross trainers and orthotics don't seem to be doing anything to help it. It has been a few years easily since I've gotten new orthotics so I'm thinking a visit to the podiatrist might be warranted to have him check it out and possibly get me new orthotics but I'm wondering if this sounds familiar to anyone or if there's any suggestions for what else I can do to make it go away.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Here's a PowerPoint I just did on Plantar Fasciitis for my Care and Prevention of Exercise Related Injuries class. It was the first of 10 injury article reviews I'm having to do for this class, so it's not as good as the later ones after I knew what he wanted, but it does list the signs, symptoms, and treatments for you. Tonya What are the signs to look for? It is going away more and more. Re: heel pain Unfortunately, it sounds to me like it is... but I'm not a doctor.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011  Thanks, Jen! It is actually feeling much better today! I kept my workouts very low impact most of last week and wore really good shoes all week (except Friday & Saturday when my carpet had been cleaned) and it seems almost all better. I'm taking it easy the first part of this week too to see how it goes. If the pain comes back I'll definitely go to my podiatrist. heel painTo: exercisevideos Date: Friday, October 7, 2011, 8:03 AM Okay, so the weird pain in my foot is gone (that was on the bottom, near the top, far from my heel).
