Wow

right wing medic squads

I think we learned from Cville that you can't have enough gauze rolls

But wait, there's more.

@Erika Your team was johnny-on-the-spot Saturday. I've wanted to commend you all for how effective and QRF you guys were. Just haven't really had the chance until now

ITS BEAUTIFUL

@Phillip Wiglesworth - FL thank you. It was tough, but I think we were all happy to be there to help everyone who were in need

You guys were so busy and didn't want to bother you.

Yeah thanks again

I'm pretty certain I've got a minor case of plantar fasciitis. Anything I can do to quickly get back to running?

@Louis Loire - NY @Deleted User ☝🏻

Quickly? Depends how bad

Freeze water bottle and roll on bottom of foot

Get.some nsaids to take with food

Get brace over the counter to sleep in to keep foot dorsiflexed

And stretch w a towel looped around bottom of feet

Of the affected.foot rather

Heel inserts help a bunch as well

What are nsiads?

Is there anything I can do to strengthen my foot and keep running without making it worse?

non steroid anti inflamatory drugs. Tylenol.

I had Plant Fasciatis. One method is to find a cool stream or lake with a smushy gravel bottom, and wade around in it.

Do a full butt-stretch. Then a hamstring stretch. Then calf stetch---In that order. Jumping ahead to the calf stretch is not advisable, because the tendons in your toes connect all the way up the back of your body, and you need to stretch the big muscles first.

Another method to deal with plantar fasciatis is to get some heavy wool socks. Coat them with duct tape, to make an improvised moccasin. Then walk around on pea gravel. Like with the stream-bed technique, what your are doing is breaking up the scar tissue on your foot tendons. You should also ice the feet, elevate them, and take ibuprofen. Before doing more of the pea-gravel walking.

With my case, I saw a foot doctor (podiatrist). He taught me how to tape my feet, and ordered VERY expensive shoe inserts. The 500 dollar inserts are just barely better (for my case) than are Spenco Total Support insoles. https://www.amazon.com/Spenco-Total-Support-Insoles-Womens/dp/B008CJNTI6?th=1

Should I lessen my running. It doesn't seem that bad. I think I just moved away from heel striking too quickly.

Tylenol is not an nsaid

Per wiki, aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen, are all NSAIDs. But Acetaminophen is generally not considered an NSAID because it has only little anti-inflammatory activity. So that's why I was wrong to reflexivly say Tylenol. But I have found you do not want or any other form of tendonitis to set in, because once it does it becomes a chronic condition that is three times as hard to be rid of. After sometimes keeping me awake at night, mine took years to finally clear up. Early medical intervention is the best approach.

Ibuprofen, naproxen, aleve

Doc: your are correct.

Stawberry you do need.to back.off the running

If you keep running on it, it will get worse

You can get severe chronic pain from this if you keep pushing through

Unless you're training for something career critical take a break, do some swimming or something

If you're not doing significantly better after a week or so can consider some oral steroids for stronger anti inflammatory effect

Ice, nsaid, rest most important

I haven't been running at all is the thing

I was just about to get really into it

I just learned how to run correctly recently

Last big thing I did were the marches in Cville

I figured I just did too much too quickly
