My Left Foot

Has become a bit gimpy.
It's frustrating really, because something is actually WRONG with it.
My money is on BONE SPUR of some sort.

I don't actually know what a bone spur is. It just sounds right.
Here are my symptons.

I have a pain.

In my heel.

When I wake up every morning, or if I've been sitting for a long time, it's really really really painful to put weight on for the first several steps. REALLY painful. Sharp. Then, it dulls down into this ache. Like, if something round but sort of big was in your shoe.
All
Day
Long.

I have no bruise.

I have not injured myself.

I just have, this random pain that never goes away. Pain killer doesn't effect it.

So peanut gallery, what do YOU think?

Have you forgotten my family's history with foot issues???? No, not a genius, just a member of the family that single-handedly keeps Indianapolis Podiatry in business . . . Seriously, though, get it looked at. Alma had that at one time a few years back, and she had to have surgery.

Plantar fascitis sucks. I feel your pain (literally). There are supposed to be exercies that help, but when mine got so bad that I couldn't even stand up to cook dinner I got a cortisone shot. It's been a year & I am just starting to get a little bit of the pain back.

The best part was the dr. telling me that it is very common in active people, & did I exercise frequently. Obviously the dr. didn't know me well.
