I will succeed!!!
I have 'suspected' plantar fasciitis (I say suspected as the pain isn't in the typical spot and the doctor made the judgement based on my lifestyle and descripton lol).
Basically, whenever I am working out I get pain in my feet, along the arch (it feels like it's being pulled apart and it is often 'hot' pain).
I was 'diagnosed' when living in the USA (one of the reasons I didn't push for tests as I was in about something else and my medical bill was already large lol).
Anyway, I get the pain when doing any exercise but also often get cramp in my feet and back of calves at night. But I do NOT get pain in the heel, which is the usual spot.
I don't have flat feet, fallen arches or overly arched feet, but the doctor said it was likely because I did gymnastics when I was younger.
Anyway, I've been doing some reading and apparently it can be made worse when you have a rapid weight gain too (my weight gain was AFTER I saw the doctor but asking incase anyone else suffers this). I didn't notice it at the time, but looking back, it hurt most when I was starting my weight loss and was first working out after a year of doing nothing - I just put it down to being totally out of shape lol.
I don't get pain when just walking after a rest period like some people do, but it does mean I have to take breaks during working out (especially when I'm getting back into it after a break) and it drives me nuts.
I've tried insoles - all types - and have more trainers than a sports shop trying to find a pair that help ease the pain. The ones I DID find are no longer made - grrr!
I'm getting back to my working out regime and expecting it to be painful at the start - does anyone have any tips? I try to limit the step aerobics already as that's always the worse thing. I'm going to book an apointment at a foot specialists too - but going to have to wait until we have the cash lol.
Thanks in advance xxx
