The bad news is that my plantar fasciitis is back and I can't take long walks.

@dillyd I’m so sorry about the bad. I know that’s a bummer for you. But the good looks very nice.

@j258853 thanks 💜

@dillyd @ColesStreetPothole ouch. I hope you’re not yard bound for too long. Looks like there are worse places to be though 😊

[amandamakepeace@turtleisland.social]

@dillyd Thanks! I’m trying to do what I can. Taping does help.

Nice to have a pretty outdoor space nearby though, good on you for that.

@the_roamer thank you!

[ericphelps@mastodon.social]

@dillyd I used to have it regularly and figured out how to stop it from coming back. But everyone has heard a story like that.

It sucks. Hope you recover soon.

@ericphelps
I would love to know your trick. I've had it before, and it lasted for years, and I really need it to be shorter this time.

[ericphelps@mastodon.social]

@dillyd The long muscle on the bottom of your foot shortens as you get older. Stretching it damages the attachment point at your heel.
* Stretch and massage your feet daily before you get out of bed.
* Don't sleep with your feet straight. Sleep on your stomach with your feet off the end or wear those stupid boots.
* For longer hikes:
** Don't stop for lunch. Muscles will start to tighten up.
** Tape up your feet.
** If you walk on inflammation, you do damage. Ibuprofen before you start.

[ericphelps@mastodon.social]

@dillyd I have a special way I tape my feet. If I don't, I can barely stand the day after one of my long hikes. It makes a *world* of difference.

Walking on your inflamed heels just damages them more, which makes them never heal. I think you should tape up every day until you heal.

Describing how I do my tape… is a separate post.
