Fitness plans have hit a snag somewhat...
May. 23rd, 2009 04:39 pmI made an appointment with the podiatrist for this morning. I made this appointment after both my feet cramped up so badly I had to get off the treadmill and could not put weight on them for a few minutes. Since that happened (about a week ago) all walking has been painful, and often so has standing.
So I saw the podiatrist this morning and I have Plantar Fasciitis, but instead of the pain it usually causes in the heel I have it in the arch of my foot. Apparently my case is quite... pronounced.
The treatment the podiatrist has set out:
-My foot has been strapped with tape (called- of all things- "strapping tape") which I need to change every 48 hours.
-The podiatrist put some mild, temporary arch supports in my docs. I am meant to avoid wearing other shoes for the next few days (my feel feel really weird now)
-I have to ice my feet for 10 mins twice a day (oh goody- so glad as we're going in to winter)
-No more treadmill for Chris for a while (boo!) and less weights, maximum of one Pump class a week.
-No gym at all for next two days, then onlythe boring stuff swimming and cycling and a small amount of crosstrainer.
-Go see podiatrist again in three weeks to see how things are going
-Get fitted for permanent supports
-Go see an oesteopath in about six weeks for some seroisly painful foot stuff.
Podiatrist thinks my feet will be better in about four months, but I can go back to training properly in two months if my follow up appointments show improvement.
Also, I have a head cold and am at work and grumpy :-)
Spagetti Bolognese for dinner!
