Plantar Fasciitis

For those who are curious about my leg injury....here's a summary.

Plantar Fasciitis, this should be a unfamiliar term to me, but I guess I will have to live with it for the rest of my life. Well, it started one fine morning in 2003. When I stepped out of my bed, I felt a sudden sharp pain on my heel and though that I have stepped on a nail!

The heel pain is caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia. This is a tissue on the bottom of the foot that connects the heel bone to your toes. The condition is called plantar fasciitis (PLAN-tur fas-e-I-tis) or in layman terms heel spur.

As a result, I can barely stand, walk and dun even mentioned jog for more than 10 minutes without feeling pain. Well, imagine a needle constantly poking into the heel while you walk!

Complications: Develop foot, knee, hip or back problems because of the way plantar fasciitis changes the walking motion. The wost case is all the treatment cannot be paid by Medisave!

For treatment, I have went through corticosteroids (injection of steroid into the leg with needle), physical therapy and extracorporeal shockwave therapy on both legs. It has been four years and I have not fully recovered! My poor right leg has underwent 2x EAST and the doctor says I should avoid a third blast. The last resort is a surgery that may lead to other complications! OMG!

Another Bad day
