Just a quick note on foot pain and neuropathy vs. plantar fasciitis.
These two conditions are often confused with one another. These two conditions may also co-exist. Either or both can be very painful. I have both conditions in my feet. However, with advanced PN, my Plantar Faciitis pain is much more severe than any PN pain, for me, at this time. It's excruciating! ![]() Here's an article on Plantar Faciitis: http://orthoinfo.aaos.org/topic.cfm?topic=a00149 I am seeing some descriptions of foot pain here which remind me of Plantars Fasciitis. An astute Rheumatologist taught me the differences several years ago. Thus, just wanted to share. ![]() To Our Healing, ![]() DejaVu Last edited by DejaVu; 08-08-2015 at 09:24 PM. Reason: typo |

I had a bout of plantar fasciitis a few years back, and while mine wasn't a severe case - I certainly agree that the pain can be pretty bad.
I rolled a frozen water bottle back and forth under my feet to relieve things when they got bad. Then I got into the habit of taking a bath vs showering, and massaging that painful area on a daily basis. Fortunately for me, the problem went away and never came back (knock on wood.........) I still do the daily foot massage "just in case". |

Hi Ragtop,
Thanks so much for sharing your experience! Plantar faciitis can be so very painful. It can burn and jab like neuropathy. It is worse, for me, than any PN pain I have ever felt. ![]() It's been a very humid summer here and many people are walking quite gingerly, as many have exacerbations of this condition now. You are very wise to keep up a preventative foot massage! ![]() To Our Healing, DejaVu |
