[warthog]

...when I was on vacation 2 weeks ago;I started power-walking again -I was laid up with that broken bone in my foot;after it healed;I got into my fitness walking...APPARENTLY;TOO MUCH,TOO SOON...this Plantar Fasciitis in my right foot flared up again-BIG TIME...I NEVER KNEW this could hurt so bad...and;Im talkin tear-inducing pain;and I have a very high level of pain tolerance...I have read it could take 6 to 18 MONTHS to subsideWorst part:I am an inspector at my job;on my feet for 8 hours every day!!-I am doing some stretching exercises now,and keep it wrapped up;and ice it-its gettin better-oh so slowly,though-My Dr.told me its a very common affliction with long-distance walkers and runners...They make fun of me at work;saying Im limping cause Im an old man...I just laugh at them-I know the truth.Good news is;I got the weekend off;and detecting (slow walking)doesnt bother it much-in 3 weeks,I got another week's vacation-my wife and I are gonna disappear-going Up North;hitting a few State Parks in the wet;among other beaches- HEY!!TALKIN ABOUT WET DETECTING MAKES MY FOOT FEEL BETTER ALREADY!!

I'll pray for fast healing for you. Take it easy when you do work. I have one flat foot and have worn a specially made insole for a couple decades now. I know that's not what you have but I can sympathize with you ! Steve in so az

a new one? Be careful buddy! Don't make it worse! If water hunting is the answer that is what I would do!
