Monday? Check. Today is blah. I spent my morning doing some very boring, very repetitive data entry. I found out that I know more about navigating the new computer system than most of the other OS's. We are all, however, still waiting to be trained on it. Opening is in less than two months

did your doc tell you stuff to do for your PF? the tennis ball or glass soda style bottle thing? the stretching, especially in the am? massage for your feets? all that stuff?

She told me to stretch them, but nothing else. I looked it up on WebMD after I got back to my office and found out all the other stuff.

Oh geez. Well, I actually had it (self diagnosed but all the symptoms were there) when I started massage school (on my feet a whole bunch all of a sudden when I wasn't used to it) and I researched it as well as asked my instructors. I'll just tell you what I know in case you didn't find some of it online. One of the most common suggestions I've heard for PF is to rolling your foot around on a tennis ball or on a glass coke (or whatever brand) bottle. My grandpa even did this years ago when he was afflicted with it. Stretching your foot on stairs or curbs are really good ways to stretch them. Any massage should help it for immediate pain and to lessen the condition overall if you keep up with it. I mean, just doing it yourself would work or making your brand new husband do it would work too. Heh heh heh. Heat from a foot bath should help too b/c it'll allow the fascia and muscles to relax and stretch out. Good, supportive, non-heeled shoes would probably be good to wear. PF is usually the worst when you wake up (although it

Sounds painful- but treatable right?

[tropical_madnes]

It's treatable, but the internets say it can take 6 months to a year to heal.

This just means that the husband has to start working on your feet ;)

[tropical_madnes]

I like the way you think, Blue. :)

Honey? Are you reading this (*bigfreakinhint*)?

I believe it was Lazarus Long who said there are two things one needs to do to please a woman: Listen to her. And rub. her. feet.

I do what I can to help, but I am only a messenger of sagelike wisdom ;)

I had something similar in my feet. I don't rememeber exactly what it was (as I was in marching band and wasn't going stop for no stinking foot disorder) but it had something to do with the ligaments along my arches being too tight or something equally odd. It took me an entire school year to recover. I however was marching so hopefully yours will be much much much better as it would kill me to see you stop dancing for anything. BTW I am also trained in refelxology so if the hubby doesn't take the hints I would be happy to help in anyway I can.
