Yesterday I took a walk during my lunch break for the first time in like 3 weeks. It was such a wonderful walk. The weather was perfect with a nice breeze. My left foot felt completely healed. There was no more pain. I could wake up in the morning and walk on my foot with no pain or stiffness. I assumed this was because I hadn't been doing much exercising. I thought it was safe to assume that I could start taking my walks again. Mind you these are just walks. I don't run, and I don't speed walk. My walks are like one step up from a leisurely walk. This morning when I got out of bed my left foot was so tense. It hurt like heck. After some walking around it felt a little bit better.
I'm so frustrated. I want to really up my workouts and taking a walk everyday is one of those workouts I want to make sure I do. Plus I really enjoy my walks. It gives me a great boost of energy for the last half of my workday and it always puts me in a good mood. I already use orthotics and they help. I use the $10 orthotics, I wonder if I use the $50 it would be better. I have started the stretching again. It's just frustrating. I don't want to give up on my walks, I really like them. I've never had an issue like this before. What to do, what to do. If someone suggests going to the doctors, I think I might slap them... Obviously going to the Doctor's is an option to find a solution but I would rather save a little money and try some home remedies first.
I won't really suggest going to a physician per say, but I think a good physical therapist could do wonders. Since you're not in Indiana I don't know what the laws are regarding getting into a PT but in IN you have to go to a physician first. I could help you know how to find a worthwhile PT if you're interested. Message me on fb. Sometimes home remedies work but sometimes they cause a lot of frustration and added pain.
