So very ...Oh man I hope it goes well for you today. So very painful and my heart goes out to you. My routine for getting out of bed or just standing up from a sitting position is I have to talk myself into standing up because I know it's going to really hurt. Then I stand up and stay still. My knees snap into place (sometimes they don't and I hate that because as I walk I can feel they are out of joint) and between my knees and ankles the cracking sounds begin. I have plantar fasciitis in at least one foot, but suspect it's starting in the other. So I scrunch a towel with my toes to loosen things up a bit before moving on. Part of my problem is I've been wearing different shoes and switching them up for summer and my feet don't like that. I basically have to live in good arch support running shoes for my feet and knees not to bother me.<br /><br />I will say that I've been drinking diluted blackstrap molasses for a couple of weeks now for joint pain/inflammation and I've noticed a dramatic difference in my knees. Once I'm up and about the stiffness I had is gone and I don't feel pain during the day (just from the sit-stand position, that's the tough one). My feet don't seem to have benefited as of yet though. dalbador1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09877799102438622117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-7732141501490202552016-07-28T10:02:35.735-04:002016-07-28T10:02:35.735-04:00Random thought for your Mr - when my PF was at it&...Random thought for your Mr - when my PF was at it's worst I went to see a chiropractor out of desperation. I was lucky that he also works soft tissue and has a more holistic approach (it actually sounds like he and your guy would get along pretty well). He did some manipulation of my feet, and then pulled out this scrapy thing (almost like a credit card shape but with more rounded edges) lathered my feet in lotion and scraped away. It hurt like the dickens, but he explained that it was breaking up... something. I can't remember - but I do know that was my turning point to healing. I had been struggling for close to a year by then, the stretches and oral steroids my reg doc gave me didn't help and I could barely walk. The new stretches and the scraping procedure followed up at home, along with good supportive shoes/inserts led to me back to foot health.another layerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15756727485274694135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-2783865186686426012016-07-28T09:52:25.297-04:002016-07-28T09:52:25.297-04:00For a long time I had to do plant fasciitis stretc...For a long time I had to do plant fasciitis stretches in bed before I could stand to get out of bed and put weight on my feet. Now that my feet are better I just get up and stagger to the bathroom. During the summer I lay in bed and try to pretend I'm still sleeping until it gets too hot (which with my east facing bedroom is about 7:30). During the school year I get up when the alarm goes off but I'm not really awake until I'm almost ready for work. Given optimal temps and my natural clock I'd probably go to bed about 2am and get up about 10am everyday - too bad my son and my job aren't on that same schedule.<br /><br />Thanks for the TJ's pointers. I'm going to make my list from what you wrote. I think sides are mostly what I'm looking for, I always have chicken in the freezer and just usually need something quick and interesting to go with it.another layerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15756727485274694135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-16420395193810405972016-07-28T07:04:37.647-04:002016-07-28T07:04:37.647-04:00When I get out of bed I just hobble til I get to t...When I get out of bed I just hobble til I get to that bathroom where I can slowly allow myself to wake up. It isn't until that water from the shower hits me that I am anywhere near coherent and now I've added PT foot exercises to my shower routine so that I can start the day off with some plantar fasciitis reduction. That seems to be the best time to do that for me. Well, that plus after a workout.The Mr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04233628447251244134noreply@blogger.com
