Plantar fasciitis is a pain in the heel. It is an inflammation of the plantar fascia ligament which can cause quite a lot of pain. I was miserable yesterday and I couldn't get comfortable no matter what I did. So I went to the Doctor figuring that they might be able to something so I could at least get the pain down to a dull roar. She agreed that it seems to be plantar fasciitis and suggested that I go see a podiatrist. I asked for a recommendation and they called a local one who just happened to have an appointment that afternoon.

I went to see the podiatrist who was very good and he agreed that it was plantar fasciitis and that it was a bad case. He had a course of action and I have to say that I feel a lot better this morning than I did last night. Now I have to get an x-ray just to make sure that nothing is broken and next week we see where I stand.

There is still pain but at least I can think rather than the mindless pain I was in yesterday. And I can walk (sort of) which is much better than yesterday and the day before. Now I can get some stuff done but I don't plan to push it too far because I don't want to end up back to where I was yesterday.

I need to get some supplies for my critter making course that Wendy Froud is teaching. I'll probably bring extra for others in the class. I always like these concentrated workshops. I learn a lot and tend of get my spirit renewed.

I am grateful for Doctors who listen and give good advice.
