Re: uurrgghh! - Foot Problem (also )

[Guest guest]

Hi Mike,

I've also been getting cramps like these more and more often and was

considering posting to ask for a " cure. " Is there any sort of

release that I can do by myself (as I seem to be by myself when teh

cramping occurs)? I used to be able just to flex my toes against teh

floor or pull them back with my hand and that would be enough to

uncramp my foot, but now I have to pull my toes back with one hand,

massage my arch with the other and it still can take 15-20 minutes

for the cramp to let up.

Oh shoot... I just realized you are probably already on the road (I'm

not caught up on posts yet, but remember seeing in an earlier message

that you were packing up the RV and about to hit the road). Well, if

I don't hear back, I'll just have to ask you at the party at

Debbi's. Thanks.

You can do that fascial release on yourself. It's just that it is

easier if someone does it for you. As a preventative, you might try

doing it when your feet feel tired and before they cramp up on you.

It is much easier to do on yourself when your eyes aren't crossed

and your teeth aren't clenched from the pain.

And you did catch me before we got out of here. Getting some checks

written for bills before we take off so Barb doesn't have to fight

off my creditors while we are gone.

As for the SoCal party, if you haven't figured out the foot thing by

then, I can show you how to do it.
