good grief my adult dd's are trying to show their love and concern for me about my foot. One runs marathon's and running is her passion. She doesn't think the diagnosis is correct of either of the two specialist I have seen. Second dd is extremely conscious of back to basic nutrition and movement. She is going ballistic on 5 weeks of limited activity and how badly that will affect my body. They have sent me pictures of differnt yoga moves to help the Plantar Fasciitis. If I got on the floor and tried those exercises they would probably kill me. Way to advance for a maturing portly lady who's passion is sitting at a sewing machine
My husband had plantar fasciitis a few years ago, and was in tons of pain. He was miserable. He couldn't miss work, though. He managed to arrange with a physical therapist to meet him as he was on his way home from work, which, for him, is 7am. He said it really, really helped even though some of it wasn't exactly "fun". He was also given a special "boot" to sleep in, and needle-less injections in his foot, both of which also helped a lot. (Not sure exactly how those worked, but he didn't mention that it was painful.) He even had "homework" to do ... exercises to do at home. It took several weeks to get completely better, but eventually it did. Now, if he feels it starting to act up, he'll do the exercises he was taught, and so far he's managed to keep it under control. Nearly all the exercises can be done while sitting or laying on the bed. Maybe ask your doctor if those might help you. I sure couldn't get on the floor and do yoga exercises either! Hope you feel better soon!
