Pain is going away...
Posted by Kristin on 2/11/99
I've read this site for awhile and know how encouraging and uplifting it is when you can read about someone having some relief from this awful injury. I was diagnosed in July with PF and tried the conservative treatments-ultrasound, orthorics and stretching. I finally agreed to a coritsone shot in early December. Since then I have S L O W L Y begun to heal. I stretch and ice and for the last two or three weeks have had maybe one day where it was a little tender. This last week I have been completely pain free. As I read this, it sounds like a short period of time to be pain free, but going for a few hours is an accomplishment let alone 2-3 weeks. I realize the shots don't work for everyone and there are risks, but this has proved to be effective for me. I hope I don't have a relapse but I am thinking positive and following the rules. I've found going to the gym and riding the bike and stairmill has kept me sane. I wish everyone well and hope your healing comes soon. Sorry this was so long, but providing some hope was my goal. Take care, I'll keep you posted.
