The Isolated Blurt Thread XXXVII: You're Welcome, Fuckers

[juttjaw]

Plantar fascia is fucking debilitating, bro. I feel ya. The only thing that has worked for me is regularly changing footwear. I know most dudes just wear a pair of kicks till they are worn out. Be them sneakers or boots. I'm sure railroad work you need steel toes. Do yourself a favor though and buy at least a couple new pairs. Switch them every day.
Also a towel by your bed for the mornings. Hook it around the ball of your foot and and use it to stretch that tendon before you get out of bed. All else fails, ibuprofen up the wazzoo.

They gave me some steroids. I don't know if they are working or not. New boots are coming this weekend. Sad, I spend $240 for a pair of Keens, because they are comfortable and seem to fit my feet. Just experience after a thousand pairs of boots.

It is debilitating! I can't walk anywhere, carpet or not, without shoes. I've known I had it, for awhile now. 4 months, 6 months, however long. The tendon ruptured, as far as the doc could tell. Without an mri, nothing is certain, I suppose.

Thanks for the tips! I'll try the towel trick, if I can get myself coordinated enough in the morning.

That ain't going away in a long weekend. Experience is talking. One thing that will help are those Dr Scholl's heel pads for your shoes. And, don't walk around on hard floors with no shoes.

Picked up som of those, and the heel pads. A friend at work struggles with it too. He pointed me towards the insoles his doctor recommended.

I can't step foot on our tile, without my giant cushioned sketchers. Usgly shoes, but man are they comfortable!

I had PF, think I started a thread on it. Worst pain in my life, spent 12 hrs in A&E cos I thought I'd snapped a tendon. I bought some Vionic trainers and they are amazing, better than Sketchers. The top recommendation on the PF site actually.

The bottle of frozen water helps too as you said.

I live in the parts where it's both but you never really know if it's a soda establishment or a pop establishment

I tend to say pop.

Those inserts helped mine to heal. It took time but man, they helped.

Sooooo many things could go wrong in this scenario.

Tell you what, you and I will have a little party. We will get good and sauced then I'll "accidently" pull it out while slamming the door.
Or you can try eating taffy.
I prefer my way because you won't remember anything in the morning.

today, in landlocked tennessee, i got to play with water

fully emptied the blue water trough that had accumulated a grand total of maybe 3" of water in its bottom, along with a million dried out leaves and so much dirt&grit... not to mention it was completely full of mozzie larvae all wriggling like crazy with more mozzies hovering over it. Then I had to scrub the sides free of all algae and accumulated organic matter. Still, playing with the fresh water in the hose as I was rinsing it down, soaking myself in the process and cooling from the sun, was fun!

 

[TwinkleStars]

I play with water every day. It's called a shower.

My dad did that to me one time. The uh slamming the door thing, not the getting sauced thing.
It didn't hurt at all.

Now I want taffy

My old boss always used to tell me to have a plan. My response was i have a plan, now as to whether it's a good one remains to be seen but I do have a plan

I love giving bad advice sometimes.
Just make it so over the top that people roll their eyes.
It's hilarious

It's not soda or pop, it's all coke.

The whole “no sex” thing during recovery. Well that lasted three whole days and now basically I’m on a sex holiday. The beautiful weather. The heathy eating. No alcohol. If we were weirdo straighties I’d be pregnant 100%

That was just last year for us, right?
