Fasciitistas
In the last 36 hours I have discovered the following people have all had plantar fasciitis: my upstairs neighbor, friends Bob and Ken, Nancy's sister Sue, Leonard B, my meditation teacher's wife, probably one or two others who have escaped my aging memory. They have offered various bits of advice (freeze a water bottle and roll your foot over it; write the alphabet with your toe before getting out of bed; pull your toes back to stretch your calf when driving long distances). Yesterday I iced my afflicted foot four or five times, did two rounds of PT at home, and gulped ibuprofen as prescribed. The upshot was that I could get dressed this morning without a cane - progress! So thanks, fellow fasciitistas!

you can add me to the list of former plantar fascitis sufferers.. (and i hate fascists, too)... i permanently ridded myself of bouts of PF by investing in a pair of orthotics, made by a neighborhood chiropractor.. he told me they would end the problem and they did, thank goodness!!
am continuing to enjoy your posts so much--more and more like a book everyday.. it WILL be a book, you know...
