Plantar heel issue   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #48795 of 60187 |
I went to the podiatrist today and we are going to be working on agressive course to get rid of this issue once and for all ( I hope) unfortunately I won't be running for about 8 weeks, till the end of the year.  That's ok as long as I will be able to run pain free again, I look forward to the day!
 
First of all my calfs are really tight which is a major cause of this problem and my heel is really inflammed as he pushed down onto my heel and I almost went through the ceiling.   He gave me a shot of cortisone for fast reduction of inflammation and also I will be taking Celebrex for the next 12 days.  We put in a referral for a night splint and really work on stretching.  I also will be getting a massage in the heel and another shot of cortisone in 3 weeks.  He told me that 90% of the people after 6-8 weeks have a full recovery.  The man issue though for me is not to run on it all.  Just cross train. 
 
So that is the prescription and I will stick to it so as the new year starts I too will be starting fresh again and injury free
 
Thanks for listening and caring,
Lynn

Your aggressive course of treatment, Lynn, sounds similar to that undertaken several years ago by a Florida friend of ours who is a passionate ultra-runner....

Hey Lynn Cross training for 8 weeks sounds like a long time, but it'll fly if you find something you like. Since my injuries, I've made it a permanent...
