Subject: Orthopedist? Plantar Fasciitis of the foot Hello,
I self diagnosed myself as having Plantar Fasciitis using WebMD, it was surprisingly very accurate. It means basically pain in the side of the foot, stressing of the plantar fascia ligament, extending from the heel to the base of the toes. Its caused mainly by excessive use of the foot, usually running. I am in a real good groove as far as my training is concerned and really don't want to stop, i was able to run on it today with moderate discomfort, and could continue this way if it doesn't get any worse I think. My only concern is that it does get worse. I've started heating it but im in college and theres nearly no chance im gonna go see an orthopedist. Any orthopedists training? Anyone out there familiar with it, has had it, tried to train through it and have it go away or not go away? Thank you very much to anyone who has anymore info, this site has been so great in info and help so far. |
