I just had my podiatrist appointment I have been traveling a lot this summer so the pain has been bad. He literally said “stretch it and work it on the hour every hour! Or surgery!” Which is crazy to hear! He also did recommend red light therapy. Soooo any recommendations on that?? TIA! Gadamsetty Satya About a month ago, I could barely stand or walk because of severe heel pain. It started as what I thought was muscle strain in the middle of my foot, but eventually the pain became so intense that even taking a few steps was difficult. I suspected plantar fasciitis and was honestly feeling frustrated. Instead of looking for a quick fix, I decided to focus on making small, consistent lifestyle changes. I started intermittent fasting Anita Baker Is there anything topical I can put on my foot? I’m in pain even when resting. Kristine Marie DiBartolomeo I'm beyond frustrated with our medical system. I've had PF for a month now and I've waited weeks to get in with Physical Therapy. I'm in so much pain I cannot possibly work my job as a waitress where I stand and walk for 6 hours at a time. I have to wait until mid-August to see a podiatrist. The only doctors I've been able to see were at the emergency ortho clinic and they somehow think I will be ready to work in 6 days!!!!!!!!!!! Mary Catherine Chartrand Has anyone tried this?? Has it helped?? I am desperate for some relief. I am so sick of being in pain.
