"The backbone to success is..."

Posted on September 2, 2014

Plantar Faciitis - that is what I have. X-ray confirmed it (as well as a lovely bone spur), got my foot well iced Doc administered 2 cortisone shots (in my heel). I laid on my stomache doing my deep yoga breathing and managed not to flinch, yell obscenities or kick Doc in the face LOL.

I came home and ordered some orthotic hiking/walking shoes and am now heading out to buy inserts for my other shoes. I also inserted 2 water bottle in the freezer to use as rolling massage/chillers for my foot/heel as recommended by Doc.

NO more bare feet around the house for me :p

This MyFitnessPal quote of TODAY is most appropriate, now more than ever. To reach my goals will take more:

hard work
determination
good planning
preserverence.

These are my mantras! I WILL DO THIS!

I used to have bone spurs in one of my feet that hurt so bad that I could barely stand first thing in the morning, and then it would hurt after I had been seated for a while. I had some orthotics made for my shoes and my foot has not hurt since, and that was almost 8 years ago. Hopefully, the orthotic shoes will help you too!
