Don't have a good foot to stand on...


Well, I have had this pain in my left heel for about 2 years now. I finally went to see a podiatrist. And yes, I have a bone spur on the bottom of the heel bone. He has given me 2 injections of an anti-inflamatory and wrapped it with a special tape and padding that I take off at night. It is feeling a little better after the 2nd injection and I am hoping even better after the final one on April 13th. I will need to get some orthontics (things you put in your shoes - not the things like braces on your teeth :) And so that outlook for the left foot is looking up and things should improve a lot. So, I guess my right foot was feeling left out - on March 1st I was feeling energentic and thought instead of just doing my normal exercise routine of riding my exercise bike, doing leg lifts and lifting weights - I would add in a dance video, I pulled my right achilles tendon really bad. It just starts to feel a little bit better and then BAM! I get a zing in the back of my heel and up my leg. Yes, I am getting frustrated with this old body and would like it to quite giving me grief!
