This is random, but it is something very present in my life right now, so I think it's worthwhile to talk about. I, along with the help of the internet, have diagnosed myself with plantar fasciitis. And if you have ever experienced it, you know it's no joke. There is a difference between having foot pain from being on your feet all day and having unbearable, on the verge of tears, intense foot pain. I have the latter. I don't know everything about it, but from what I've read, it is definitely what I am experiencing.
Basically it is super intense pain in my heels. It feels like I am walking on broken glass. Or broken foot bones. It hurts when I'm not walking, but it is 100x worse when I am walking. I put insoles in my shoes and tried many different pairs of shoes, but nothing really helps. Foot stretches help while I'm doing them, but I obviously can't do them while I'm walking. I am guessing it started from suddenly being on my feet more than normal, but it is literally horrible. I end up waddling by the end of the day and doing anything to avoid walking. It's not pleasant. From what I've read, it seems that it eventually goes away on its' own and you can do exercises/ice your feet/use ibuprofen to stop swelling/elevate your feet, but in the meantime I am ready to cry.
Anyone ever experience this??
