Heel Pain No More: Expert Podiatrists Provide Comprehensive Plantar Fasciitis Treatment
Plantar fasciitis, the notorious troublemaker of the foot world, is no stranger to causing heel pain and discomfort. This common condition has a knack for disrupting your daily activities and throwing a wrench in your quality of life, bringing frustrating interference to your day-to-day routines.
Fortunately, in Plainfield, some expert podiatrists specialize in the treatment of plantar fasciitis. In this blog, we will explore the comprehensive treatment options provided by these skilled Plainfield Podiatrist professionals, offering you hope for lasting relief from heel pain.
Tumblr media
Symptoms & Risk Factors Of Plantar Fasciitis: A Comprehensive Understanding
Plantar Fasciitis, a prevalent foot ailment, manifests as inflammation of the plantar fascia—a thick tissue band stretching from the heel to the toes on the underside of the foot. Repetitive strain and excessive foot usage contribute to this condition, resulting in micro-tears and subsequent irritation.
The primary symptom of plantar fasciitis is sharp heel pain, especially upon the first steps in the morning or after prolonged periods of rest. Understanding Plantar Fasciitis involves recognizing its causes, symptoms, and risk factors, which can help individuals seek timely treatment and adopt preventive measures to manage and alleviate the condition.
10 Telltale Signs: Is Plantar Fasciitis Affecting Your Feet?
•Arch pain or discomfort.
•Difficulty bearing weight on foot.
•Heel pain in the morning.
•Pain after prolonged periods of rest.
•Pain radiating to the calf.
•Pain worsens with activity.
•Sharp pain with each step.
•Stiffness in the foot.
•Swelling in the heel area.
•Tenderness when touching the heel.
Comprehensive Treatment Approaches For Plantar Fasciitis
Plainfield Podiatrist takes a comprehensive approach to treating plantar fasciitis, focusing on alleviating pain, reducing inflammation, and promoting healing. Here are some of the key treatment methods they employ:
1.Custom Orthotics: Podiatrists may recommend custom orthotic devices, such as shoe inserts or arch supports, to provide proper support and alignment to the foot. These orthotics help reduce strain on the plantar fascia and alleviate pain.
2.Physical Therapy: A structured physical therapy program can be highly effective in treating Plantar Fasciitis. Podiatrists work closely with physical therapists to design a tailored exercise regimen that includes stretching and strengthening exercises to improve flexibility, reduce pain, and enhance overall foot function.
3.Non-Surgical Interventions: Various non-surgical interventions are utilized to relieve symptoms. These include:
Medications: To alleviate pain and inflammation, healthcare professionals might recommend the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or administer corticosteroid injections.
Night Splints: Wearing a night splint keeps the foot in a neutral position during sleep, preventing the plantar fascia from tightening overnight and reducing morning pain.
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT): This non-invasive treatment involves using shock waves to stimulate healing in the affected area, reducing pain and promoting tissue regeneration.
4.Lifestyle Modifications: Plainfield Podiatrist emphasizes the importance of lifestyle modifications to support the healing process. This includes avoiding activities that aggravate the condition, wearing supportive footwear, and maintaining a healthy weight to reduce strain on the feet.
5.Surgical Intervention (if necessary): In severe cases where conservative treatments fail to provide relief, podiatrists may consider surgical options. Surgical procedures for plantar fasciitis aim to release tension on the plantar fascia or remove damaged tissue, providing long-term pain relief.
Conclusion
Living with Plantar Fasciitis can be debilitating, but with the help of expert podiatrists in Plainfield, relief is within reach. Through a comprehensive treatment approach that includes custom orthotics, physical therapy, non-surgical interventions, and, if necessary, surgical intervention, these professionals are dedicated to helping you overcome heel pain and regain your quality of life.

suggestion/request: trevor with a level one autistic reader? gender neutral or maybe transmasc? 🥺👉👈
(I hope it’s alright I decided to go with a transmasc reader {if anything I wrote is inaccurate or doesn’t fit your personal experiences, I’d be more than happy to re-write the request to make it more personalized for you!} And I hope I got everything mostly right and that it makes sense! Tysm for the request)
TW: (vague mention of receiving comfort for dysphoria)
Word Count: 570
Trevor Philips w/ an autistic, transmasc reader
He enjoys it if you have any routines or schedules you have to keep. And he pretty well memorized them after being together for just a short amount of time. He has terrible abandonment issues, so knowing you’ll be basically doing the same thing everyday, and what you’re doing, puts him at ease. It helps him know you’re being safe and where he can always find you if he needs you.
If loud sounds overstimulate you, you’ll probably need to let him know before his constant shouting and noise making spur on an episode. He wouldn’t ever do anything to intentionally trigger you, but he does need express instructions on some things.
Don’t ever feel embarrassed to stim in public. Trevor hardly ever stops moving- bouncing on his heels, moving his hands, picking at his skin. So, the last person you’ll ever have to worry about stimming in front of is him. He probably won’t even notice you’re doing it.
Really, until you told him, Trevor may not even pick up on the fact that you’re autistic. He knows tons of different people, all with their own quirks and preferences, and he never really thinks on things like that too much to judge or question it. And once you tell him, it doesn’t really change anything except for him adapting some of his behaviors to help you out.
He’s super protective of you, like, viciously protective. Especially if you have any problems picking up social cues, he’s determined to make sure no one says anything rude to you, for any reason, that you don’t catch.
If you happen to be super blunt/up front he honestly appreciates it, even if it comes off as harsh or rude. He’s used to Michael’s dishonesty, and trusting people is something a bit difficult for him. But he can always rely on you to tell him like it is. Even if he doesn’t want to hear it, your honesty is what he knows he needs.
If you want to infodump about a special interest, he’s all ears. He’s super engaged- asking questions, genuinely wanting to know more. He talks a lot, and he likes to hear you talk a lot too.
He loves when you borrow his clothes. And if he owns anything with a texture that you dislike, he throws it out. If you don’t like the texture, you’re less likely to wear it, after all.
He’s very handsy. If you’ve had top surgery, he loves to touch your scars, provided that you’re alright with that. It’s not even anything sexual (most of the time). He occasionally just finds himself laying with his head on your chest and his fingers tracing against the marks on your chest. He personally enjoys them a lot.
When you go out together, he occasionally likes you to match suits with him or match your outfit with one of his dresses. He’s fairly possessive of you, and matching each other lets everyone know you two are together.
He’s not the best at comfort, at all. If you have any dysphoria, he won’t have the words to comfort you. But he’s more than willing to hold you for as long as you like.
Super respectful of whatever pronouns you use, and he expects everyone you meet to do the same..or else. Seriously, he would kill someone without hesitation for disrespecting you.

why is surgery a last-resort treatment for a heel spur? it's directly under the skin, and I would like to think orthopedic surgeons are dexterous enough to avoid the achilles tendon. can't they just snip it off, or rasp it down with a file?

Whelp I forgot this was even here.
Out of all the things that I have forgotten I forgot that I had this Tumblr XD Brain Fog is a bitch it seems. I guess I could use this as a venting space, what with my shinny Chronic Illness and all. Its still a ongoing brain battle with myself with what I think I can do, and what I should do. 
It’s a slow process in getting used to what will mess me up, and what I know will mess me up. Just because I can ignore it doesn’t mean I should. That being said its nice to know that I wasn’t just being a big baby about my chronic pain and that there is actually something wrong. 
It’s been a year and a half now and I have to make peace with the mighty Fibromyalgia monster lurking inside my body. I need to stop thinking “Maybe my doctor is wrong and I’m okay,” or “There’s not actually anything wrong with me” because I know there is. Ones body is not actually supposed to be full of pain that has no rhyme or reason after all, and there is only so long someone can ignore the hammering pain that comes out of no where.
Hell I just had a month off of work because they were remolding, all the rest in the world and I’m still bone dead tired, and I wake up with random parts of me burring or twinging. It’s cool that I can still time travel by closing my eyes and falling asleep just about anywhere but my bed. It’s great to randomly feel like I’m going to crash and burn until it comes time for me to actually sleep. I also find it funny that my ankles are still made of garbo, yay for saving up for ankle surgery to get the Right ankle fixed almost as well as the left is now. 
To every doctor out there that always told me to either loose weight or to rest and it will get better please kindly go screw you self. To the doctors that told me there was nothing wrong with  me or my ankles, you need to listen to your patients and not just assume you know what is going on. I lived with a heel spur growing through my Achilles Tendon , for over eight years before someone listened to me. Do you know what its like to feel like someone is taking a knife to the back of your ankle with every step and that sitting down was the worst part of your day? It’s not fun I can tell you that, and if it would have been looked at sooner, and fixed before it got so bad I wouldn’t have two partial Achilles tears in my medical records and a tendon that is now prone to tearing. But no, because I was over weight, there was nothing wrong with them and I just had pain because I was heavy.

Went to the doctor for MRI results today. The tendon has separated from the bone. My foot has more flexion than expected, though, and given the state of the whole of me, the doctor thinks that a non-surgical treatment might do the trick. Or, y’know, it might not. If I get back to him before noon tomorrow he can schedule surgery early next week. I thought I’d throw this out into the wild to see if anyone pops up who’s got experience or knowledge that should influence me before making the final decision.
As I understand it, my options break down like this:
Non-surgery: Immobilize the foot with a cast; no weight on it for 6 weeks, followed by 4-6 weeks with a walking boot, followed by physical therapy and a re-evaluation after six months, with the option for surgery then if results are not satisfactory. The leg will always be weaker than before (face it, that’s true whatever happens).
Surgery: Outpatient procedure detaching the tendon that controls the big toe on that foot and moving it to control the ankle instead. Get rid of the Haglund’s deformity that the heel spur built up on to cause this mess. Same recovery as for immobilization. Loss of movement in big toe. If it doesn’t work, major life changes which we won’t think about yet.
So far, those consulted (self, husband, Mom) are plumping for the surgery. We want this over! Also, prospect of future heel spurs greatly reduced! But there may be considerations that someone with more experience could bring to our attention.

Alright, this is going to be a ramble that's been pent up for a very, VERY long time. And fuckit, its gonna have some specific details, but I have so much rage about this that I don't even care anymore.
I'm gonna take a moment to brag, because I promise it'll be relevant.
Most people following one of my blogs probably consider me physically fit. And hell, I am proud of my physical accomplishments. I'm a very strong swimmer. I'm extremely "naturally" good at ocean swimming and freediving- during my introductory freediving course, I exceeded the requirements for two certification levels above me, and I've tried to maintain that skill. I'm not as "naturally" good at through hiking and climbing, but I was able to dedicate myself to it for a bit and easily did routes such as the HST, Rae Lakes loop, and "self-made" routes through other parks this summer. I'm looking to the JMT and others in the near future. I'm no boulderer, but I scramble over rocks and logs with ease. I'm far better at all of these things than an average human being.
But here's some other fun facts:
I've never had a mile run time below 10 minutes. I only have one below 12 minutes, and that was when I was actively training and pushing myself to it. This is below the average mile time of a man in his 50s.
I have to tap out after doing a pitiful number of jumping jacks.
I've never participated in an organized sport.
During PE and team sport activities I was forced to participate in growing up, I was always the person picked last, and was clearly the worst of the bunch.
So let's talk about this. CW, medical stuff ahead.
Take a look at these:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
These are two surgical scars on either side of my left ankle.
When I was a preteen, I had a nasty twist in my ankle that fractured my ankle's growth plate. I was on crutches for a while. Even with physical therapy, still walked with a limp afterwards.
My doctor was confused at my recovery, and also thought that my fall was too minor of an incident to cause the damage it did. Eventually, follow up X-rays and even an MRI of my foot were done.
Every. Single. One. Of the bones in my ankle, and some in my feet, were covered in hairline, spiderweb looking fractures. I had abnormal growths and bone spurs (cue the Trump jokes). The MRI revealed the culprit: a bridge of cartilage in my heel, partially fusing my ankle joint. The end result was a reduced "springiness" and impact resistance in my ankle, as well as reduced flexibility both left/right and up/down. So when my foot tried to flex too much, or encountered an impact that it couldn't properly accommodate for… all of that extra force and flexing was going through my foot and ankle bones instead.
Now under normal circumstances, this probably would've been totally fine. If excess, repeated impact weren't applied, or I didn't flex it improperly on a regular basis, and in general, I just quit whatever I was doing when my ankle started to get sore, it would just be one more quirk of my body that I had to watch out for for the rest of my life.
Jogging was exactly the kind of repeated impact that stressed it out. It hurt. A lot. I knew something was wrong. I pleaded PE teachers and coaches for something, anything else to do.
But after a while, something else started to happen- since I was limited by my ankle, and not my cardiovascular health, I never got my heart rate up in PE. I never worked on any kind of physical health. And it started to slip.
So in addition to pain, I was starting to huff and be overexerted to the same level as everyone else for those pitiful 12 minute mile times. And so, of course, the PE teachers thought I was just being lazy, and just needed to work harder to improve those times. I just needed to push myself harder. Clearly it was just how much and how effectively I was training that was the problem.
I had extensive orthopedic surgery when I was 15. My ankle was opened on both sides, the bones pried open, cartilage cut out, and a titanium plug inserted to ensure that the gap between joints stayed open.
I spent pretty much the rest of my teens recovering from that. Physical therapy, pain meds, the works. It impacted my mental health a lot as well, of course.
It all started to work, however, and ~1-2 years out from the surgery, I was fully ambulatory and mostly pain free. By undergrad, it was a quirky fun fact- I could joke about being a cyborg because of that little scrap of titanium. It still bothers me from time to time, even today, but I know my limits and basic home PT techniques well.
I was still attending PE the entire time. I had some accommodations, but they were essentially just the teacher saying "alright, you're still running the mile, but I'll be lenient on grading you". I had the doctor's notes. I had the meetings with administrators. I had the paperwork to back me up.
But a lot of mental damage had been done. I had already internalized being the "physically unfit" and "lazy" kid. I took no care for my physical health. I thought I was a lost cause.
I always like hiking and swimming, but once I had the ability to explore my options, I started leaning more and more into them. And hell, I found out I was quite good at them. Nowadays, I can't do them daily, but I do them as often as I can, and try to do semi-frequent exercises adjacent to them- weighted stairs and the like.
I'll never be champions at them. When I swim directly downwards in freediving, I "spiral" down because of the asymmetry in my ankle flex. My ankle was also the first thing to give out nearly every day on the trail, not in a dramatic way, but in a "hey, probably time to make camp for the night" kinda way.
High school and middle school PE actively prevented me from doing that. I was too exhausted and in too much pain to explore any exercise options that weren't something I was specifically forced to do by the class.
Discovering my form of exercise was part of my mental recovery. But let's extend this a bit further.
What if I didn't? Or couldn't? I cannot fucking imagine going through the mental beatdown of having a disability during PE during as a teenager, internalizing that in your ego, and having a piece of your self worth tied to it. Hell, even when no disability is involved. What if your value is so intrinsically tied to your weight, and the fucked up, wildly inaccurate idea of "health" that this system puts on kids? It's fucked up. I know I'm privileged to be ambulatory now, and to actually have forms of exercise that work extremely well for me.
The true mental healing wasn't getting physically good at the things I do, or exercising well. It was trying to free myself from arbitrary metrics of physical fitness as a measure of self worth.
Maybe I'm being dramatic. Maybe my situation is too rare, or too specific, or too tied into other confounding factors in my life to matter. Maybe it became a bigger problem in my head because I was going through other stuff at the time as well.
But I don't know. Even considering all of that, even trying to remove that all from me, even trying to look at all this neutrally, I just can't see the value in PE- at least, not the way its conducted in most US schools. It doesn't contribute to student health. It doesn't give students a physically active break during their day. And in some cases, it actively hurts people.
Fuck PE.
For research (and due to my own grievances):
Reblog for bigger sample size (or don't, but I will be yelling at you from the sidelines)

Understanding Heel Pain: Causes, Symptoms, and Effective Treatment Options
Introduction
Heel pain is a common condition that can affect daily life, especially when walking or standing for extended periods. While it often arises from lifestyle factors, it can also indicate underlying conditions. This article explores the causes of heel pain, symptoms, and treatment options to help you find relief.
1. Common Causes of Heel Pain
Plantar Fasciitis: This is one of the most common causes of heel pain, where the tissue connecting the heel bone to the toes becomes inflamed.
Heel Spurs: These are bony growths on the heel that develop due to long-term pressure and can cause pain while walking.
Achilles Tendinitis: Inflammation of the Achilles tendon, often due to excessive exercise or improper stretching, can lead to heel pain.
Bursitis: Inflammation in the fluid-filled sacs (bursa) in the heel can cause pain, particularly when moving.
Stress Fractures: Tiny fractures in the heel bone can result from repetitive stress or overuse, common in athletes.
Sudden Weight Gain: Increased weight puts additional pressure on the heels, potentially leading to pain.
Improper Footwear: Wearing shoes with inadequate support or poor cushioning can also cause heel pain.
2. Symptoms of Heel Pain
Sharp Pain: Intense pain when first getting up in the morning or after sitting for long periods.
Dull Ache: A consistent ache in the heel that may worsen with activity.
Swelling or Redness: Swelling around the heel area due to inflammation.
Pain When Walking or Standing: Discomfort during movement, especially on hard surfaces.
Stiffness: The heel may feel stiff, making it difficult to flex or move the foot.
3. Sudden Heel Pain Without Injury: Possible Reasons
Plantar Fasciitis: Often, the tissue in the heel becomes inflamed even without injury, leading to pain.
Bursitis: Sudden inflammation in the heel bursa can occur without any visible injury.
Nerve Entrapment: Conditions like tarsal tunnel syndrome can cause nerve pain in the heel area.
Gout: Uric acid buildup can lead to sudden heel pain, even without trauma.
4. Treatment Options for Heel Pain
Home Remedies
Rest and Ice: Applying ice to the heel can help reduce inflammation. Resting the foot is essential to avoid further strain.
Stretching Exercises: Regularly stretching the Achilles tendon and calf muscles can help relieve pain.
Use of Supportive Footwear: Wearing shoes with proper arch support and cushioning is essential.
Heel Pads and Inserts: Gel or foam heel inserts can provide extra cushioning and support.
Medical Treatments
Physical Therapy: Physical therapy helps to strengthen and stretch the muscles, providing relief from heel pain.
Orthotics: Custom shoe inserts prescribed by a podiatrist can help with arch support and alignment.
Pain Relief Medications: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen can reduce pain and inflammation.
Corticosteroid Injections: For persistent pain, doctors may recommend corticosteroid injections to reduce inflammation.
Shock Wave Therapy: High-energy shock wave therapy can promote healing in chronic cases.
Surgery: In rare cases where conservative treatments fail, surgical options may be recommended to relieve heel pain.
5. Preventing Heel Pain
Proper Footwear: Ensure that shoes have adequate support and are appropriate for your activities.
Regular Stretching: Stretching exercises for the calves, Achilles tendons, and plantar fascia can help maintain flexibility.
Weight Management: Maintaining a healthy weight can reduce unnecessary strain on the heels.
Avoid High-Impact Activities: Reduce activities that put excessive stress on the heels, such as jumping or running on hard surfaces.
Conclusion
Heel pain can disrupt your life, but understanding its causes and symptoms can help in choosing the right treatment path. From simple home remedies to advanced medical treatments, there are various options to relieve heel pain effectively. However, if pain persists or worsens, consulting a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment is essential.

Is Plantar Fasciitis Surgery Right for You?
Tumblr media
Plantar fasciitis is a common condition that causes pain in the heel and arch of the foot. It is caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot. Plantar fasciitis can be treated with non-surgical methods, such as rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE). However, if non-surgical treatment is ineffective, surgery may be an option.
What is plantar fasciitis surgery?
Plantar fasciitis surgery is a procedure to release the plantar fascia and relieve the tension causing the pain. There are two main types of plantar fasciitis surgery:
Fasciotomy: This is the most common type of plantar fasciitis surgery. It involves making a small incision in the heel and cutting the plantar fascia.
Heel spur removal is performed if a heel spur contributes to the pain. The heel spur is a bony growth that can form on the heel bone. The surgeon will make a small incision in the heel and remove the heel spur.
Is plantar fasciitis surgery successful?
The success rate of plantar fasciitis surgery is high. Most patients experience relief from pain after surgery. However, there is always a risk of complications, such as infection or nerve damage.
When is plantar fasciitis surgery necessary?
Plantar fasciitis surgery is usually only necessary if non-surgical treatment is ineffective. Consider surgery if you have had plantar fasciitis for more than six months and non-surgical treatment has not helped.
What are the risks of plantar fasciitis surgery?
The risks of plantar fasciitis surgery are low, but they do exist. Some of the possible risks include:
Infection
Nerve damage
Recurrent pain
Blood clot
Scarring
What is the recovery time for plantar fasciitis surgery?
The recovery time for plantar fasciitis surgery is typically 6-8 weeks. You must wear a cast or boot for the first few weeks. You must also avoid putting weight on your foot for some time.
Conclusion
Plantar fasciitis surgery is a safe and effective treatment for chronic plantar fasciitis that has not responded to non-surgical treatment. However, it is essential to weigh the risks and benefits of surgery before deciding. If you are considering plantar fasciitis surgery, talk to your podiatrist about the best option.
If you suffer from plantar fasciitis, talk to your doctor about the best treatment options. Many effective non-surgical treatments are available, and surgery should only be considered as a last resort.

Step-by-Step Guide for Plantar Wart Removal By Expert Foot Doctors In Plainfield
Plantar warts can be a source of discomfort and frustration for many individuals. These small, grainy growths on the soles of the feet can cause pain while walking and can even multiply if left untreated. 
Fortunately, there are expert Foot Doctor Plainfield who specializes in the removal of plantar warts. In this blog, we will provide you with a step-by-step guide to the effective removal of plantar warts, ensuring a pain-free and successful treatment process.
Tumblr media
Step1: Consultation & Diagnosis
The first step towards Plantar Wart Removal is to schedule a consultation with a qualified foot doctor in Plainfield. During this appointment, the foot doctor will examine your feet and diagnose the presence of plantar warts. They will assess the size, location, and number of warts to determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
Step2: Treatment Options
After the diagnosis, the Foot Doctor Plainfield will discuss the various treatment options available. They may recommend a combination of treatments to ensure the most effective and lasting results. Some common treatment options for plantar wart removal include:
•Topical Medications: The doctor may prescribe topical medications that contain salicylic acid. These medications help to dissolve the wart gradually over time. They are usually applied directly to the wart and require regular and consistent usage.
•Cryotherapy: This treatment involves freezing the wart using liquid nitrogen. The freezing process destroys the wart tissue, allowing healthy skin to grow in its place. Cryotherapy is a quick and relatively painless procedure that is highly effective in removing plantar warts.
•Laser Therapy: In some cases, the foot doctor may recommend laser therapy for Plantar Wart Removal. This procedure uses a focused beam of light to target and destroy the wart tissue. Laser therapy is precise and minimally invasive, offering a high success rate for wart removal.
Step3: Treatment Process
Once you and your Foot Doctor Plainfield have decided on the most suitable treatment option, the actual removal process begins. This may involve regular applications of topical medications, scheduled cryotherapy sessions, or laser therapy appointments. The foot doctor will guide you through the treatment process, ensuring you are comfortable and informed at every step.
Step4: Post-Treatment Care
After the Planter Wart Removal procedure, proper post-treatment care is essential to prevent recurrence and promote healing. The foot doctor will provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for your feet and what precautions to take. It is crucial to follow these instructions diligently to optimize the recovery process.
Step5: Follow-Up Appointments
Following the wart removal, Foot Doctor Plainfield will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress. These appointments are essential to ensure the wart has been completely eradicated and to address any concerns or questions you may have. The foot doctor will assess your healing and provide further guidance if needed.
Conclusion
Dealing with plantar warts can be frustrating, but with the help of an expert foot doctor in Plainfield, you can find effective removal solutions. By following a step-by-step guide, which includes consultation, diagnosis, treatment options, treatment process, post-treatment care, and follow-up appointments, you can overcome plantar warts and regain comfort in your feet.

Just had to throw my slippers away and I’m genuinely on the verge of tears. Feels like adding insult to injury
#like this day was already going badly lol#random fucking man tells me i’m not independent enough to work for him because i don’t have a car#(this was a minimum wage job opening mind you so i’m not sure exactly what money he expects me to be running a car with)#went for a run and concluded my heel spur is actually now an even bigger problem than my arthritic knee#and unlike my arthritic knee; the heel spur isn’t going to stop causing problems unless i get surgery LOL. it’s fucking bone#i’m going to have to buy heavy duty running trainers or something and i will never financially recover from that#then found out the weed gummies that are allegedly 100mg barely do anything to me#i’ll have to take 2 at once if i want more than to be slightly dazed for a couple of hours#i need to quit weed for the foreseeable#and THEN i accidentally step outside in my house slippers and somehow step in shit?#it was only on the sole but my reflex reaction was to chuck them in the bin#then i realised i could probably clean them and was about to take them out but realised they were covered in food waste at that point#i’m so upset. i’m really picky about my slippers because i was wearing a pair of slippers that were too big for me when i fell#and dislocated my knee the first time. so i don’t wear boot-style slippers OR backless slippers#they have to fit my feet exactly but they also have to be warm and not look like my grandma’s slippers#(i LOVE my grandma but i don’t want to dress like an 80 year old. i’m not there yet. you understand)#i just have Such a hard time finding something that fits the bill. and these were so comfy and warm and i loved them :(#and they would’ve had at least another year of life in them. there was Nothing wrong with them apart from they were a smidge big if i didn’t#have socks on. (but not big enough to trip me)#i should also mention my feet are a women’s 8.5 and really narrow#and shoe brands are unnecessarily.. imprecise with their sizing so i’m ALWAYS finding that the sole is too small but the rest of the slipper#fits fine. or something like that. but not with these#i’m so ANNOYED i have to buy a new pair. my feet are already fucking cold#really feels like everything is about to get me lol. my body doesn’t want me running. i have to give up weed#and now i can’t even have warm feet. i can’t even be COMFORTABLE. COOL. THANKS#personal

Update on what I've been doing
I developed a bone spur in my left heel about 3 months ago finally went to the doctor they confirmed what it was they said go see it by foot doctor and between times you can always take a double dose of ibuprofen
For those who don't know ibuprofen is basically a liver killer Don't take it
I will take aspirin, not in a double dose if I have pain I'll live with it and continue to do what I'm doing
So I go see a podiatrist on Tuesday now he's going to probably prescribe the same thing.
I'll all tell him yes I've been doing that and its still there and I feel like it's getting worse.
So then they will probably say okay well the only option is surgery.
I can do that I have a high pain tolerance what most people would say they want to scream their head off with it's just a minor annoyance to me
And my doctor always told me I have amazing healing powers, I broke my wrist years ago in three places doc said probably will have to be in a cast for at least six or eight months I was in that cast two months
Dr took a picture of what it look like at 2 months compared to what it look like when I first saw it.
He said take a good look at that last picture can you find where your bones have been broken I said no cuz neither can I this picture there the final picture looks like a very healthy wrist usually when your bones are broken there is a fine line or something to mark where it was broken nothing's there
That's when he told me you must have some amazing healing powers because you're wrist with the three bones that were broken are all healed you don't need any more casts
That's one thing that's been going on in my life
The other thing was my birthday yesterday October 17th I was born in the year 1960
I chose that day to be the last day that my ex-boyfriend would be able to contact me and maybe I would take him back.
nothing no contact.. no happy birthday.. no nothing. That's fine.
Next item
I found me a guy on plenty of fish dating site The same site I found my ex-boyfriend but this guy I don't know he is he's something else
The minute I touched his hand I felt sparks I felt energy I just felt something really beautiful.
And then he spoke He's 66 years old and his voice makes melt. I mean when I said melt he could be telling me that he killed someone I wouldn't care
I've only had that experience one time before when I was 23 I was in a folk dance class and there was Cambodian guy and we danced and the first time his pinky touched the top of my hand all these sensations went through my body I mean it was magical whatever you want to call it It was something and then he's spoke and I was like melted.

Understanding the Role of a Foot Doctor
A foot doctor, also known as a podiatrist, is a medical professional who specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of foot, ankle, and lower leg conditions. Foot doctors are often referred to as DPM foot doctors (Doctors of Podiatric Medicine), and they play a crucial role in maintaining foot health.
At TD Podiatrist Columbus Circle, we specialize in podiatric medicine, offering a wide range of treatments designed to address both minor and severe foot problems. Whether you're dealing with foot pain, structural issues, or a more complex medical condition, our team is here to help.
Common Conditions Treated by a Foot Doctor
There are many reasons why you might need to see a foot doctor, and at TD Podiatrist Columbus Circle, we treat a wide variety of foot conditions. Some of the most common issues include:
1. Plantar Fasciitis
One of the most common causes of heel pain, plantar fasciitis occurs when the plantar fascia (a ligament that connects your heel bone to your toes) becomes inflamed. The result is stabbing pain, particularly when you first get up in the morning or after sitting for a long time.
At TD Podiatrist Columbus Circle, we offer plantar fasciitis treatment options that may include stretching exercises, physical therapy, and custom orthotics designed to alleviate strain on the plantar fascia and reduce inflammation.
2. Foot Pain
Foot pain can have many causes, including injuries, overuse, or underlying medical conditions such as arthritis. Our podiatrists are trained to diagnose the root cause of your foot pain and provide the appropriate foot pain treatment to get you back on your feet.
3. Bunions
Bunions are bony bumps that form on the joint at the base of your big toe, often resulting in pain, swelling, and difficulty wearing shoes. Our foot doctors provide both non-surgical and surgical solutions depending on the severity of the bunion.
4. Heel Spurs
Heel spurs are calcium deposits that build up on the underside of the heel bone, often causing sharp pain and discomfort. If you're dealing with heel spurs, our podiatrists can recommend a treatment plan that may include orthotics, anti-inflammatory medications, or, in severe cases, surgery.
5. Ingrown Toenails
An ingrown toenail occurs when the edges of the toenail grow into the surrounding skin, causing pain, redness, and swelling. If left untreated, ingrown toenails can lead to infection. Our podiatrists provide safe and effective treatments for ingrown toenails, ensuring that you find relief.
6. Flat Feet
Flat feet occur when the arches of the feet collapse or are underdeveloped. This condition can cause overpronation (excessive inward rolling of the feet while walking), leading to pain in the feet, knees, hips, and lower back. At TD Podiatrist Columbus Circle, we provide custom orthotics and other treatments to support the arches and correct foot function.
7. Hammertoes
A hammertoe is a deformity that causes one or more of your toes to bend abnormally at the middle joint, leading to pain and difficulty walking. Our foot doctors offer conservative and surgical options for treating hammertoes, depending on the severity of the condition.
8. Morton’s Neuroma
Morton’s neuroma is a thickening of the tissue around one of the nerves leading to your toes, typically causing a sharp, burning pain in the ball of the foot. If you're experiencing symptoms of Morton’s neuroma, our podiatrists can recommend treatments such as custom orthotics, corticosteroid injections, or surgery in more severe cases.
Podiatric Medicine: A Specialized Field
Podiatric medicine is the branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of foot, ankle, and lower limb disorders. Podiatrists are trained to treat a wide range of conditions, from common issues like calluses and ingrown toenails to more complex problems like fractures and deformities.
At TD Podiatrist Columbus Circle, we are proud to be part of this specialized field, offering expert care for patients dealing with foot-related issues.
