#Plantar Fasciitis

[justabunny]

I hate when I meet people with the same condition as me and they say "that's not a disability". like okay it's great that it doesn't disable you, but it greatly disables me and you don't get to determine what I label myself

Love having EDS and being told my shin splints would “just go away” if I ran enough????? That’s not even how shin splints work?!????? Those gym teachers who clearly hated their jobs and assumed everyone was able bodied can fuck off! Disabled people exist, and we don’t just pop up in adulthood!! IF A CHILD IS IN PAIN, DON’T FUCKING IGNORE IT.

An ode to plantar fasciitis:

🎤

I would walk five hundred miles,

And I would walk five hundred more.

Just to be the man who walked a thousand

Miles to fall down at your door.

Ibuprofen! (Ibuprofen!)

Ibuprofen! (Ibuprofen!)

I got some compression socks from the pharmacy that the guy working there swore worked really well for his plantar fasciitis and had an epiphany

I hate to even had to ask for help but I am fundraising to get a wheelchair, I desperately need one at this point. Sharing or donating would be greatly appreciated!

I had a really good fencing practice today after a very difficult and discouraging practice last week. I even considered quitting. I had been struggling with my advance lunges. And tonight, my coach said my advance lunge was “beautiful” and that meant so much to me. I’m not giving up.

I’m going to go to the Olympics one day for fencing. And I will win gold.

I have a lot of disabilities that make it harder for me but I’m learning and progressing despite them. Some of them include plantar fasciitis and a complete lack of depth perception (despite have two working eyes.) I’m used to working harder to adapt to succeed despite my disabilities. This is what I want to do. So I’m going to do it. 😊

Happy EDS and HSD awareness month! This month, I’ll be celebrating by getting about a million more symptoms and having a flare up on day one!

As a matter of fact, I wasn’t aware enough so my body decided to bring back symptoms that my doctors and physical therapist already helped out with!

Ow

Ow

Ow

Ow

Ow

(That’s me walking.)

if it's not too personal an ask/you don't mind sharing: what is your disability/illness? I have something that sounds similar and it's nice to see someone with the same worries/struggles.

no worries! i have fibromyalgia + chronic plantar fasciitis. both of them run in my family; my aunt and my grandmother were both diagnosed with fibromyalgia a few years after they turned 18 and i started developing it when i was twelve. and a good deal of people on my mom's side of the family has plantar fasciitis as well. apparently, that usually goes away, but literally no one in my family has ever been able to get rid of it so the doctors diagnosed it as chronic for me right off the bat based on my medical history haha

fibromyalgia tends to vary for different people from my experience, so for context: i can't sit in one position for too long and need to adjust almost constantly or i'll be super super achey the next day. i can only really stand for about five minutes without pain, but i can push it to about 45 minutes before i start getting into the "i'm about to collapse" territory. and i can walk for about two hours (with breaks) before my physical timer runs out.

if i DO end up pushing it on either of those things, then i tend to be pretty out of commission for the next at least three days, in which i can't really move without pretty terrible muscle pain & my leg muscles will get extremely stiff and difficult to stretch because of the plantar fasciitis.

i don't get migraines (as in actual migraines— i do get pretty bad headaches but i'm sure that's caffeine addiction related) but i DO experience some mild brain fog where i tend to forget unimportant facts (such as birthdays or my exact age) and have trouble stringing together efficient and complete sentences.

i also tend to get random-ish pain flare-ups, typically at the start and end of winter, where i experience all of that ^ but from just sitting around on my couch like some guy.

i once housesat for a dogowner for a week, and the only exercise i did the entire time was taking her on two five-minute walks a day, and by the end of the seven days i was in full smegol from lotr stance for like a full seven days after hahah

all of this stuff, of course, is inconsistent— there are some days where i'm able to be out for a few hours, deal with some pretty bad pain that day, and be at baseline the next morning. it's a mystery to me. anyway that's all, i hope this helps ^^

Plantar Fasciitis is one of the absolute worse things to deal with every morning. You just wish you had Baron Harkonen's floating suspenders to drag yer arse out of bed instead of having to walk.

love that I have can’t stand for long periods of time disease

I've had continual plantar fascitis pain for the last few weeks and I just. Want. It. To. Stop.

I've done the regular ingestion of pain medication/anti inflammatory (VERY temporary relief)

I've done the gentle stretching (hurts worse)

I've done the rolling gently on ice. (Temporary relief)

I've done the wearing supportive footwear at all times (no change)

I've done the taping of the foot(knocked pain from like an 8 to a 5/6)

Ive rested whenever possible (not often, I work on my feet)

And I'm at my wits end how else to help it stop hurting.
