I have had PF for approx. six months.
While I was overweight when the symptoms began appearing, I was
fairly active and reasonably fit. During the last few months I have
gained weight due to the inability to do much because of the pain-I
was finally fitted with orthotics in December. I am working at
losing weight but find it very slow-going and discouraging when most
activities (even a half hour walk several tims a week) cause a
reacurrance of severe pain. I am also swimming several times a week
but understand that this is not an exercise that is likely to help
weight-loss efforts.
I also bike on occasion but find this uncomfortable.
I feel trapped. I know losing the weight will help my condition but
trying to exercise to help facilitate this process increases the pain
of the condition!
I would appreciate help from anyone who has been in this predicament.THANK YOU!
