]]> Comment on Can anyone please answer my questions about my plantar fasciitis ? by Richard C http://footpro.org/pain-in-foot/can-anyone-please-answer-my-questions-about-my-plantar-fasciitis/comment-page-1/#comment-13133 Richard C Sat, 28 Jan 2012 00:07:13 +0000 http://footpro.org/pain-in-foot/can-anyone-please-answer-my-questions-about-my-plantar-fasciitis/#comment-13133 Josh, 1. it gets worse as the blood that is in the foot is pulled into the core of the body to maintain the core temperature. This is normal and would occur even if you didn't have this problem. 2. icing before stretching is counterproductive. Ice makes the blood supply withdraw from the area thus making it more likely to be injured. 3. your feet look bigger because to a degree they are. Exercising is going to cause an increase in the blood flow. Being that your legs are really columns the blood is going to tend to pool in your feet. 4. please try this movement if you have not done so. Assume a long sitting position with the knees absolutely straight. Now have the muscles of the feet pull them back towards your shins. The only movement that is occurring is at the ankles. You will know that it is working as there will be a pulling sensation in the calves. Pull as hard and close to the shins as you can for 10 seconds and then rest for a few seconds. Repeat this until you have done 10 reps. Do this right before you get out of bed in the morning and right before you go to sleep. You can also do this before you participate in any activity. Once you have learned how to do the movement it can also be done standing or sitting but the most effective way is the first. Josh,

I have seen this in many of my patients. I would recommend that you find a chiropractor that specializes in foot adjustments. It can make a huge difference.

]]> Comment on what exercises can i do one month after bunion surgery? by pelican http://footpro.org/pain-in-foot/what-exercises-can-i-do-one-month-after-bunion-surgery/comment-page-1/#comment-13128 pelican Tue, 24 Jan 2012 03:36:56 +0000 http://footpro.org/pain-in-foot/what-exercises-can-i-do-one-month-after-bunion-surgery/#comment-13128 At the beginning of the third week of your recovery, you should be able to do some assisted range of motion exercises. This exercise is done by grabbing the big toe joint and flexing the toe up until it you feel some discomfort. Hold the toe in this position for ten seconds, slowly release the toe and then repeat two more times. The second exercise requires you to flex the toe downward, still grasping the big toe joint. Hold the toe in this downward position for ten seconds, slowly release the toe and then repeat two more times. These exercises should be done three times a day through the fourth week of recovery. Beginning in the fifth week, increase the frequency of each exercise to six times a day and also begin to pull the toe farther up and downward as tolerated. This helps increase the range of motion in the big toe joint.

I have a friend who sprays her shoes with Lysol Spray, she says it keeps the fungi off her feet. There are several brands you can by OTC(over the counter). But I've always used good old Clorox bleach and a cotton swab. Depending on how advanced your fungi is, will determine how often you should apply this. Usually 3 times a day and be sure to keep your feet clean and dry. When you bathe, wash and dry those little toes thoroughly. The fungus among-us just loves it when you don't dry between your toes. Put baby powder in your closed in shoes. This will help keep them dry. You might even consider putting antiperspirant on your feet to keep them as dry as possible.

You cant ask to be knocked out but after the injection you dont feel a thing :) you wont be able to do sport for q couple of weeks, and after the injection it doesnt hurt at all, not even days after :) better than being in pain ;) I had mine done, it doesnt hurt that much, just the anaesthetic hurts a bit, sort of just like a normal injection.
