Read Moreplantar faciitis???
been on a weightloss/exercise program for 2 months. Run 4 miles per day on a treadmill.
Severe pain in left heel.
Sometimes have to skip a day of jogging or cut it down to brisk walking only 2 – 3 miles.
Pain stays all day when I am on my feel. Actually hobble especially when getting up after being seated (long or short spans). Heel is very sore. Could this be planta faciitis, or is my weight (150 lbs on 5 ft frame) just too much for foot to handle?
Why only the left heel? Will it improve as weight continues to drop?

Read Morejust sensitive?
(2 discussions)
Had pain along 5th metatarsal for 9 months now, bone and MRI showed nothing along with x rays. Getting really frustrated cos physio basically said it was me being oversensitive but i’ve broken things before and not had probs. Should I persist or just get used to pain and ‘live my life’ as she suggested?
Thanks and by the way I think you do a fantastic job considering you can’t see our feet!
Do toenails grow back?
I had to have my toenail surgically removed yesterday after seriously injuring it in a run-in with the door.
Will my toenail grow back?
What are the chances that a toenail won’t grow back?
Is there anything I can do to increase my chances of healthy regrowth?

echinacea stoppage time factor before surgery
(3 discussions)
I have upcoming bunion surgery-so as I’m sure you know, it will be IV sedation, certainly not general anesthesia. Well, stupid me, with slightly two weeks before the surgery, I took echinacea, as I sometimes do when I worry about catching a cold. Then it dawned on me, DUH! Don’t take herbal supplements before surgery-so I have stopped ( was only a few days on and off anyway) and it will be just about 2 weeks off before my surgery. But still, I have to wonder if they’ll want to postpone me by a week (have my preadmission appointment this week upcoming)Did some reading, and saw some of the advisories about stopping echinacea, but just want to ask around about risk factors (since I’m a worry wart and also kicking myself for not thinking)okay, I know this is an anesthesia question but just thought someone might have feedback/input. ultimately yes, my surgery center will decide. Thanks.
