Using crutches for Planters Fasciitis

Okay.. then I am going to send you my email address.. .. let me know if you get it or not,  And too bad about the arthritis.. if it is not one thing it is another...PF and arthritis too.  You are young almost 43, I am 46.  We are both young and both need to just do our very best to hang in there and think positive.  I know that when I don't think positive, I become a little depressed, which is not a fun state to be in, that is for sure.  So, I hope you will be able to send me an email, it is nice to keep in touch.. after all we have this wonderful PF in common.  Did I say, wonderful?  I did, well you know that I was just kidding, right?  Of course you do.

Take care Jason-

What does that mean?

I think it is because I tried to send you my email address and I guess you can't do that, too bad.  Anyways, you are 43.. I am 46. We are both young.  And sorry to hear about the arthritis.. just got to hang in there and do your best to stay positive.

I am going to try to give you my phone number.. 650-269-1294.  You can text me here too.  I want to see if this goes through to you now.

Okay, so much for getting our email addresses.  We will just have to keep in touch using this site, better than nothing I guess.

Talk to you later,  Aimee

Hi Jason,

That is great that you got my phone number. Now, We will be able to send emails.  Hope you are having a nice day so far. My day has been the usual.. good thing is that my foot pain is not getting any worse.

I will just wait to hear from you, get your text message.

Thanks Jason!!!

Hi Jason,

Okay I got this message.

I have this terrible condition and use a frozen water bottle every single day. I also am using a tennis ball to help ease the pain. I recently have been wearing a splint at night and have been feeling results in the morning which is the most painful time for me putting my feet on the floor first thing. But the splint seems to have been easing the pain a little so far. I recently found this site plantar fasciitis aid which gives me alot of reviews on products for plantar fasciitis and some great videos. You should check it out if you get a chance. Hope this helps.

Ask your doctor for a cortisone shot in your foot. It will help for like 5 months. I was getting them for 3yrs and juat had surgery cause it got no better.

Jason,

You should really stop using those crutches.  Do you think that you might be relying on them too much.

Just my thoughts, of course

Almost two years ago when I put this post up I had said I had said I was using crutches to keep weight off my right foot do yo the pain i was having from PF. I found that it takes a lot of patients and time if you end up choosing to do that. It does help a great deal though . I also found an air cast splint that i can ware during the day with shoes on that I still use to this day to keep the pain down. I actually found that air cast splint on amazon at a reasonable price. If mine gets to the point again that I need to stay off of it but be mobile I'll sure use the crutches again. It's worth it using the crutches.
