Sore feet and elbows!
Posted by Lyndel on 1/30/99
This board is interesting! I'm glad I found it! A few questions: Number one, it's all women??? Are there any guys out there who have PF or is it just me? Also, I'm not sure about my symptoms. My feet began hurting one year ago. They would hurt any where between the heel and ball of my feet, both feet but more so in the left foot. My foot pain first began from a bad pair of Ariats shoes (western boots made by former tennis shoe employees that are a cross between tennis shoes and cowboy boots. Very expensive and very comfortable until they broke in) My feet started hurting from the moment I got up until I got into bed. While I slept they felt ok. I finally went to a Podiatrist. They gave me custom orthodotics ($375 bucks!!!) They felt good at first but after a couple of months my feet began to hurt again. Sometimes the bottom of my foot would swell up and there would be no arch to the bottom of my foot. I now walke on the balls and toes of my feet to keep from hurting. Is this the same as the rest of you have? It kinda sounds like it. Everyone talks of iceing their feet???? I put mine in hot water each night after work and that really helps me alot! If I soak them in water for 3 nights in a row while watching TV or crusing the net I feel great for about 4 to 5 days. I also have this same pain in my elbow! I drive a service route for a living. I've done it for 5 years now and drive about 1000 to 1500 miles a week! The hard armrest of my pickup kills my elbow. I cant even rest my elbow on the table. It feels like someone hit it with a hammer when I touch it to the table! I'm 36 years old and like I said before I drive for a living servicing phones. I'm on my butt more than on my feet nowadays and my feet went bad????? Since my inserts are starting to hurt and not help as much, I've been getting worried as to how bad this was going to get? I just wandered into this forum and would love to get to know the rest of you and what remidies you've tried? Thanks for reading my rambling.... Just sitting here typing my feet and calfs hurt. I was on my feet all day and I think I was standing on my toes to relieve the rest of the bottom of my feet and thats why the calfs hurt. Thanks for listening.Lyndel in Montana
