Jennifer Spears replied to Organization Volunteer's discussion Frustrating heel pain"Thanks for the reply............I have quit going to physical therapy. Nothing really changed, and the cost was killing my budget. It would have been worth the money if I could have seen an improvement. I did get some better shoes, and that has made…"

Jennifer Spears left a comment for John g parisi"It's amazing isn't it? Sore feet ruin everything. I have missed out on a lot since the pain started. I just don't want to walk far if I can help it. I have found some shoes that help though. Reebock DMX. No heel pain, but some pain…"

Jennifer Spears replied to Organization Volunteer's discussion Frustrating heel pain"Well, I'm glad I went for a different shoe! I ended up getting the Nike DMX. It has great cushioning, and my heel does not hurt much at all. I think this will make a huge difference, since I'm on my feet all day. I still feel some…"
Jennifer Spears replied to Organization Volunteer's discussion Frustrating heel pain"Thanks, I feel better about the New Balance shoes. You are the 3rd person to mention them. I'm tired of spending money on things that don't work. Hopefully, they aren't too expensive. Good luck to you!"
Jennifer Spears replied to Organization Volunteer's discussion Frustrating heel pain"Thanks for the info. I never thought of back problems being the cause. I wonder why the doc never mentioned it as an option? That's what bothers me so much about this condition and treatment, they all seem to be guessing, and there is no set…"
Jennifer Spears replied to Jeremy Beavers's discussion Feels like i'm walking on something..."Wow, sounds lilke you've already tried everything. Also sounds like there is no set treatment. My doc is against the injections, because (he says) they can cause more damage in the long run. He believes in stretching, iceing, and rest. Not…"
Jennifer Spears replied to Organization Volunteer's discussion Frustrating heel pain"My foot hurts all day, more so when I am standing/walking. The most acute pain is the first few steps, but It never stops hurting. Even now, I can feel it throbbing, like a dull ache. One thing I have learned, is that going barefooted is not a good…"
Jennifer Spears replied to Jeremy Beavers's discussion Feels like i'm walking on something..."Your foot is angry? That is such a perfect description! That's how mine feels, all day. I am on my feet all day at work. So far, nothing helps me exept staying off of it. I have had 12 therapy sessions, medication, home exersize, and a night…"

My right foot/heel has hurt for almost a year. I limp all day. I have spent a fortune on therapy. Also, $ 80 on a special sock to wear at night, to keep my foot flexed. My foot hurts worse now, and the pain is constant, although still most severe after the first few steps. My therapy is twice a week, for 1 hour. He rubs it and stretches it, uses some kind of heat therapy, and applies cortisone through a patch. I ice it daily, take naproxen, and do stretches on my own. Now it throbs constantly,…See More

- Jennifer, I was five years in the Infantry. Feet ar so important that our offciers would inspect them once a week. Twenty years ago I was hiking the Appalachial Trail. Each time I came to a creek or stream I use rocks as stepping stones to get across. Then as I crossed a stream jumping over rocks I felt a terrific pain in my foot and heal. It is twenty years now and I still have the pain in my foot and heel. I hope that you get well and the pain does not come back to you. I have seen many doctors, orphopedic and podiotrist, everyone had a different way of treating the foot. Non worked.
