Hey. I just came across this page and it has a lot of great info about how cortisone shots can be harmful to the fascia. Also a lot just on plantar fasciitis in general. Thought it could be helpful…Continue

I have just recently became a believer in what taping can do for Plantar Fasciitis / Metatarsalgia / Morton's Neuroma. I had Morton's Neuroma and Metatarsalia and didn't start taping until about 3…Continue

Maizie replied to Andrea's discussion This is the worst pain...........and I cannot live my life"Hi Debbie, I hope you find something that helps you. Be careful with the shots though. They are meant to relieve the pain but they don't do anything for treating the underlying condition. I always find this kind of thing dangerous as it makes…"
Maizie replied to Andrea's discussion This is the worst pain...........and I cannot live my life"Hi Ellen, BFST stands for blood flow stimulation therapy. It's a wrap that emits electro-magnetic energy to stimulate more blood flow to the injured area to help accelerate the healing process. More blood flow means more nutrients and more…"
Maizie replied to florencejfrazee's discussion Plantar fasciitis"I'm sorry to hear this. I think you'll get lots of great advice on here as i'm pretty sure we've all been through this and know how awful it can be. I agree with your friend on the no surgery. Naturopathic treatments are in my…"

Maizie replied to Andrea's discussion This is the worst pain...........and I cannot live my life"I am so sorry Andrea to hear of the pain you are going through. I know what you're experiencing. I limped for 8 months on my foot before I decided to try something. I used the ColdCure and BFST Treatments. I didn't do any stretching and no…"
Maizie replied to Melissa ashby's discussion Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT)"Is the treatment itself painful? Do you feel any relief right after or does it cause more pain?"
Maizie replied to LD Rabbit's discussion NSAID gels (Voltaren or Zorvolex)"I do like Voltaren, but A535 has always been my favorite for my aches. Have never used it on the bottom of the foot though and honestly I think cold is the better the way to go (as a lot of these gels/creams heat up the area). For the foot,…"
Maizie replied to chrislreeder's discussion Pop under my foot"I would agree that you may have ruptured the fascia. Don't know how common that is, but would definitely recommend an MRI. All the best. Let us know how you make out."
Nurse925 replied to Maizie's discussion Cortisone shots?"Hi,
Thanks for the link. I myself have suffered with PF for about 5 years now when I became a nurse. I guess the long hours on my feet took were detrimental. I tried all conservative measures with ineffective results until I got the shots. The first…"
Maizie replied to Lex's discussion What Should I Try Next"I wouldn't recommend surgery either. I cured my feet after limping for 8 months, and it has never come back. I know of a lot of other people who have had great results as well without having surgery. I know it's tough, I've been…"
Maizie replied to bertharmorrison's discussion Does chiropody work?"That's a great site. Thanks for sharing :) I couldn't quite figure out what the therapy is exactly they promote though. Is this more like chiropractor therapy but for the feet? Does that mean heavy stretching? I'm always sceptical…"
Maizie replied to Lex's discussion What Should I Try Next"Hi Lex, I know that night splints have helped a lot of people, but please be very careful with these. Pay attention to your limits and don't do anything that causes more pain. Stretching, as important as it is with most ailments, is extremely…"
Maizie replied to Rick Scheidt's discussion foot pain moved location"I know that peroneal tendonitis is felt along the side of the foot where you are describing. It's possible that with the strain and way you are walking, you have developed this type of tendonitis as well. Maybe research that a little and see if…"

Maizie replied to mary jones's discussion walking aids"I recommend simple taping to be honest. It's a great support and you can't even feel it on. No arch supports, just comfortable shoes and tape."
A great treatment with great results :)

Good Day,
How is everything with you, I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since vital to disclose it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on:(abrahamakim@outlook.com ) for full details.
Have a wonderful day
Thanks God bless.
Mr.Abraham
