Getting My Foot Fixed

A few months ago, I realized that I had a real problem with my left foot. Whenever I started running, I would have this piercing pain alongside my arch, and it was really uncomfortable. I decided that I couldn't let the problem continue, since it started to affect my ability to work out. I thought about it and decided to go to the podiatrist so that I could start finding a solution. It was amazing how much of a difference it made. My doctor found the problem, recommended a treatment, and taught me how to keep the issue from happening again. My blog discusses all things foot-related, from finding cool socks to recognizing the symptoms of injury.

Plantar fasciitis is a painful, yet treatable condition that can affect one or both of your feet. This is a condition that can give you pain in your heels, that can feel like burning, or as if pins are pressing into the heels of your feet. You typically feel this pain after you have been at rest, rather than when you are on your feet. This is because the band in your foot is being stretched and the calcium buildup is being pressed into, which can offer you temporary relief when you move, but as soon as you rest, or take your first steps after being at rest, it can be very painful.
