Many horse liniments have magnesium in them. That link does not. It does say on their site that humans should not use their product. Lots of herbs in that product, so I would be careful using it, if you decide to.

When I worked with horses, I always used some of their absorbine equine gel on my shoulder which has chronic tendonitis. I worked so much better than the absorbine jr you can get at Walmart and the like... and we didn't need to pick it up from the vet it was over the counter at any of the local feed stores, ace hardware, tractor supply type places and also we could order it from Stateline Tack, online or through the catalog. Petsmart might not carry it though since they don't have much if anything for equines. But if you don't have a feed store or a tractor supply in your area you can always go to Stateline tack online and order it. And if you like horses or livestock they have a variety of cute things for around the house too 😊

I googled it and here is what I found:

How to Use Horse Liniment for People - Chapman's Premium All Natural :: horse liniment, people, humans, herbal, linament, horses, natural, herbal remedy
She said that you can purchase it at a feed store. I haven't gotten any yet so I don't know how much it cost and such. She did not give me a name brand either.

Very good point, mrsD! Some herbs do not mix with the medicines that many of us are on and can have unwanted side effects, even if you aren't on medicine.

3 oz of absorbine gel costs about $5-6, it's really the same ingredients as absorbine jr, and absorbine plus, just a stronger concentration of the active ingredients then the ones they make for most people... no magnesium or things of that nature in it. You can probably find plenty of other ones out there, my family's just has always used absorbine and most of the folks around me growing up prefered it to aspercreme and such. And honestly it's one of the few liniments I can use... ice hot, aspercreme, salon pas and the like tend to cause welts and blistering and the skin to peel off like a major chemical burn .

No matter the strength of the absorbine though I just get relief and a nice tingly feeling. But I do have to put up with the smell that will clear the sinuses of everyone in the room

My husband has plantar fasciitis. He tends to buy cheap shoes with little support but puts inserts into them to help his walking. I got him some fisherman's sandals with gel soles for summer for a Father's day gift, and he can barely walk in them. I don't know what the answer is.

We are quite the pair. I wear an ankle brace for tendonitis in my left ankle. I also have hip pain from arthritis and it feels like my left knee is going. I try to exercise a little each day to keep my mobility but I have to balance it with the pain and the fatigue.

MS combined with all of the other effects of aging is never boring.

To top it all off I woke up with a swollen and painful right knee! This is the same leg/foot the plantars fasciitis is in.

I'm afraid to ask "what else" because I'm scared of what it might be!!

My foot has been swollen for months and it's slowly climbing up into my ankle. I've tried doing the exercises recommended for plantars but they really don't do me any good.

I don't like this growing older stuff. Especially with all these medical issues. This wasn't what I thought I signed up for.

Have you tried wearing compression socks? If not I would suggest getting some. I hope you are getting into the Dr. soon to evaluate the edema of your feet, ankles and now knee.

Take care Kitty

There are many causes of foot pain. Not all is MS or plantar fascitis.

One overlooked cause is reactive arthritis, which is an autoimmune disease. Another cause is gout or pseudogout.

I'd go right to the chase... see a rheumatologist.

Spreading to other joints is a serious thing so please do get it checked out.

As Mrs. D pointed out, that is not at all common behavior for plantars, you seriously need to get to a doctor to find out what exactly it is. I have tons of joint problems from my spasms, it's caused a multitude of tears of tendons and ligaments as well as bone spurs and minor fractures (stress fractures) to various bones. Its highly painful, causes a lot of swelling, and happens fairly regularly. But even if I'm pretty sure it's just yet another torn ligament or stress fracture, I head off to the doctor to get an MRI of the area to find out "what now...." It can be pricey depending on insurance, but it's always better to know what's going on and to hopefully be able to correct it.

Oh dear!!! I agree with mrsD and Starz. Please contact your doctor. It sounds as if you have more going on and it needs to be checked. Please keep us posted on how you are doing.
