Re: plantar fasciitis

[Guest guest]

There has been a lot on this lately, I had a problem with this almost 20 yrs

ago. I was

given a shot of cortizone (which I would avoid again as it felt like the needle

was the size

of a pencil). It helped a whole lot and I was told it would eventually wear off

and I would

need another shot in a few years.

I was also told, by a podiatrist, that not having proper arch supports really

exacerbates the

problem. Not wanting to endure those shots again, I got with the program and

started

wearing shoes with good arches. I am now wearing almost nothing but birks, but

have

avoided another shot for 20 years and counting.........

As far as going GF... the only change in my feet I noticed was it no longer felt

like bones

and skin that I was walking on. I actually had pads on my feet again.

Hope it helps someone else avoid those shots.

Hi, I have no personal experience but my husband is experiencing a bad case of plantar fasciitis. He's had problems for a year and has finally found the perfect solution. It's called the strassburg sock (sp?) and you can buy it at a sports store for @ $40. It's a sock you wear at night that stretches out your heel. He's worn it for a few weeks and he's back to running 30-40 miles per week. He highly recommends it.

". . . the only change in my feet I noticed was it no longer felt like bones and skin that I was walking on. I actually had pads on my feet again."

Cheryl,

It's interesting that you said that. I felt the same way. The soles of my feet were so sensitive before going GF. Then I developed peripheral neuropathy and couldn't feel the soles. I was relieved until I found out that that indicates yet another problem. (Sigh) When I had the cortisone shot in the left heel, I couldn't even feel it! I had plantar fasciitis in that foot -- the podiatrist said it was due to a fallen arch and had my orthotic remade -- and after the shot, I was a new woman!

Before he gave me the shot, the doctor sprayed something on the foot to deaden it. He said, "Is that cold?" I said, "I wouldn't know; I don't feel it." He sent me to another doctor to see if I had diabetes. I don't. But the thought of becoming a diabetic scared me off of sweets and now the feeling is coming back to my feet.

If it's not one thing, it's another!

Hi, Trudy,

I have not researched it but I believe that restless leg syndrome and peripheral neuropathy (PN) are not the same thing. Search for each on Yahoo or Google and you'll find out all you wanted to know and more.

Many, many people are uninformed about what is going on in their bodies. Ignorance is bliss for some. Denial is a way of life. Some people who have multiple physical problems just don't care anymore; they lose energy and the will to keep on fighting.

My parents were like that. They both died far too young, in my opinion. My sister and I both have CD and we're certain Mother did, too. She got to where she couldn't eat anything without horrible diarhhea. Had other classic symptoms. Daddy developed osteoarthritis and couldn't even sit without pain. Lots of other problems, too numerous to mention. Smoked like a chimney. Ate every sweet thing Dolly Madison ever made.

So what do you do with your stepfather? I'm afraid I don't have the answer. Perhaps someone else will.

All any of us can do is take care of ourselves and our immediate families. We can demonstrate how "easy" it is to avoid the poisons that bring us down, and how much better we feel as a result. Live by example.

-- Re: Re: plantar fasciitis

My stepfather sounds very similar to this. I have suspected for many months that he is celiac for several reasons. He has restless leg syndrome (I believe this is a peripheral neuropathy, right?) and was hospitalized and almost died many years ago from pernicious anemia. Recently he was hospitalized with blood sugar of over 700 - he had no idea he was diabetic and probably wasn't until recently. You mention getting the insulin moving - are you diabetic or insulin resistant too?

The interesting thing is, I have been pushing for celiac testing for quite a while but my stepfather hasn't been all that excited about it. His brother is a doctor and wasn't too excited either. When he went into the hospital a team of student doctors was assigned to him and they all immediately started talking about celiac! I hope he gets tested soon. I always forward all the posts that have similarities to his condition.

Hi, Donna!

I'm taking B-150 now but did take B-12 for several months with very s-l-o-w progress. Maybe it wasn't absorbing?

The only time I notice a problem is when I eat some food that is high on the glycemic index -- simple carbs like candy bars, or bananas, or squash soup. Just being GF isn't enough for me; I must have protein with whatever I'm eating. It slows down the conversion to sugar. Or something like that. I'm no expert.

I notice a problem with PN when I've eaten any of those simple carbs. (Christmas goodies are gone now, thank goodness.)

Exercise also really helps. It gets the stored insulin going, stirs up the circulation, and keeps me limber. I usually just walk twice a day, for 20 to 40 minutes each time. The feeling is returning to both my feet and my fingertips! There's hope!

You are misinformed.You can weight 600 lbs and eat candy all day long but if there isn't a physical predisposition, you will not get diabetes.

I have had diabetes since about 1986 and I have a 15 yr old daughter who got type 1 at age 2.

Where in the world did you get your info?

RLS is an overwhelming desire to move the legs usually caused by

uncomfortable or unpleasant sensations in the leg. The sensations can

occur during periods of inactivity and become more severe at night.

The sensations are relieved by movement of the limb. It can cause

difficulty staying or falling asleep which leads to tiredness and/or

fatigue. Not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but

this is what I know. Hope it helps.
