For three months now, my left foot has been hurting. Based on Doctor Google, it is plantar fasciitis. I am almost certain it is.
I tried home remedies for 2 months (not very diligently) and then finally broke down and made an appointment with a podiatrist. I had to wait a full month to get in, but thought, Ok, he will help.
It was for September 7th.
Except it wasn't. I had a God nudge to check the morning of, and the perky receptionist informed me that no, my appointment was for October 7th!
Argh!
Not that I am angry at the doctor. I know everything is crazy after COVID years. It is just wow, long time.
So I have decided to get serious about home remedies. It seems pretty obvious that tight calves are a big part of the problem. If I stretch often, my foot feels better. I also bought a compression sock and just ordered a boot for sleeping at night. It will keep my foot at a ninety degree angle. Hopefully all this will help.
My foot doesn't hurt ALL the time, but it hurts often enough to be really annoying.
So I am praying I can sort this out, and soon. I need my feet to feel good!
So far my right foot is fine.
