Plantar Fasciitis: http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/plantar-fasciitis/symptoms-causes/syc-20354846
Oddly enough as many things with our mini vacay to Ybor City and Busch Gardens Tampa while on day three of our exploration and me on my motorized wheelchair my feet swelled daily, but a new element also began to cause a painful dilemma.
My walker was used while in the hotel room, and so I basically maneuvered myself in there, and began to have severe heel pain accompanied by a sensation of a falling arch all in my left foot only.
And for some reason with my normal method of treating the swelling in my ankles with icing and elevation, MY LEFT FOOT, was not cooperating!
No Danial Day-Louis was there either.
So I as most people do Googled my symptoms and that is when I came up with Plantar Fasciitis.
But I did not meet the criteria.
I am not a runner nor an athlete at all, and I am off my feet more than on them.
I am thinner, by about fifty pounds I think, than I was when I did walk, although I suppose technically still obese.
And that is the only thing that could be met within the perimeters of what I read to have caused this, ironically!
Because when I weighed more I did not have this issue!
Any-who, I iced it raised and took Tylenol, since I cannot take any anti-inflammatory medications since one gave me a bleeding ulcer years ago!
By this past Friday, two days after we came home at around three thirty I called my chronic care nurse Debbie.
I thought it wouldn't hurt to see my internist next week.
I described my symptoms without mentioning what I found by Googling, and she said right away it sounds like Plantar Fasciitis; I confessed that I Googled it and admittedly concurred.
She said I could see my internist or she felt that I needed to see a podiatrist, and looked up several within a couple of miles from our home.
I checked out their credentials on healthgrades.com and decided on two, a woman and a man, but both offices were closed till Monday.
On this note of full disclosure, oh I also threw out my spinal stenosis back, now full disclosure, ha!
Oh fun!
That is all for now.
But we did have a wonderful time met up with Number One and his gal and ate lunch Sunday together at the Columbia restaurant in Ybor, and then went through the museums together there.
He gave us seasons pass tickets to both Busch and Sea World, and we also had free parking and 30% off stores and food in the park!
So we have made reservations for Orlando in a couple of months too!
We used to go often with the boys when they were young to all of the parks and its been years since, so we decided why not?
