Planters Fasciitis

Try soaking heels in warm water, try with Epsom salt for pain relief.

 

After my hysterectomy, I experienced significant pain, particularly in the mornings. My uric acid levels were elevated, and I was on medication to manage them. Although the pain didn't disappear entirely, adopting certain lifestyle changes helped me gain better control over it. Today, I can manage the discomfort without much worry.

Here are some tips based on my personal experience:

• Footwear Adjustments: I switched to more supportive footwear, avoiding high heels and flat shoes that strained my heels and the middle of my left foot. For about a year or two, I exclusively wore sports shoes, even to work. At home, I opted for comfortable footwear designed for support.
  
  
• Dietary Changes: Following my endocrinologist's advice, I reduced my protein intake, particularly red meat and grains. This included significantly cutting back on dal curry, which was a staple in my meals.
  
  
• Exercise: Joining a gym and incorporating regular workouts into my routine helped me lose excess weight and alleviate much of the pain in my body.
  
  
• Supplements: I started taking vitamins D, B, and E, along with fish oil, on a regular basis. These might have contributed to my recovery as well.
  

These steps made a big difference for me, and I hope they can be helpful to you as well.

 

I have plantar fasciitis too. I was using vionic slippers at home and didn't give me good arch support.
Did this one have good arch support?
I was using bad shoes and that was the culprit for me for my knee pain and plantar fasciitis pain. I was using a normal Skechers pull on shoe for a long time and used to go for a walk in the hilly roads with that. Ended up with knee cap changes and this plantar pain.
What shoe do you use? Does the shoe have good arch support too?
