Re: Will I ever be cured?? Or is it a syptom of something more?
Posted by Scarlett on 1/26/99
Thank you to everyone who responded to my message. I would like to begin by saying, Yes I have had x-rays done of my feet and I have been checked for arthritis and many other diseases and conditions. I can not honestly say if what is wrong is pf or not. I do know that it appears I am experiencing a lot of other symptoms that others don't seem to have. My doctor told me that 5% of his patients with pf experience the kind of pain I do. It is not always that painful either. Some days everything feels great and other days I can barely walk. I only take the pain pills or antiflammitories on the "bad" days. I will definitely consider a possible MRI and soft tissue test. I was wondering if the pf that other people experience involves pain in the whole foot or mainly just the heel?? I tend to have pain in the entire foot and also experience tightness in my achilles tendon that results in pain their also. Also has anyone tried reflexology or magnets to help relieve their pain. Those were two suggestions I was given to try to relieve the pain and I am not sure if it would help in my case.
Anybody who has anymore suggestions for me please write!!
