Hi,
IÂ’m new to the forum. IÂ’ve introduced myself in the meet and greet.
I haven’t practiced (rigorously) in a 10 months because of planters fasciitis, commonly known as Heel Spurs. I’ve gone to the Dr. a couple times. I’ve been doing recommended stretches and took pain killers for a while. This started in Feb. of ’06. I gained 20-25 pounds because I started to lift weights to gain some bulk. I never was a “runner” but I was running with my kids doing some wind sprints and I aggravated the Heel spurs. Now every time I push myself hard I limp off the floor to an ice compress and two days of sore feet. Some days I can do all my patterns with no pain. I’ve heard and read that these will fade away after a year. The best thing I’ve done for the HS is buy a really comfortable pair of hiking shoes. Walking around in your bare feet is one of the worst things you can do to aggravate HS, i.e. TKD. I think I will talk to my new instructor about using Martial Arts shoes or Wrestling shoes in class. I can say the condition has become better over the past ten months, and I recover quicker than I used to. Mornings after workouts are still rough.
Anyone here experience this condition? And what did you do for it?
