Oso planning to go pro
So, when you have to numb a patient's mouth for a procedure, do you sympathize as you are driving that industrial size needle through their gums?
absolutely! i apologize before, during and after, then we cry together...wait, "industrial size"? we ain't doing tracheotomies here, but using a needle on someone and having it stuck into self are 2 different things. btw, we call in "throwing darts" got that one from doc lenny at the johnson clinic
Tennis balls, frozen water bottles, and see a PT. Seriously, physical therapy is wildly under used, go to a PT listen to what they say and just incorporate their exercises into your daily routine.Example, I separated my shoulder(grade 3) playing soccer, went to the ortho who wanted to wire my shoulder back together, wife talked me out of it and went to PT instead. I do a couple of strengthen exercises a couple times a week during my regular weight training routine and shoulder feels wonderful and it's been 6 years now
Tough job wit skilled hands, butt sumwon's gotten do it, hey?
Having suffered from plantar fasciitis for years, I got fitted for custom orthotics several years ago. They weren't cheap but insurance covered 50%. They completely resolved the problem and I found that they also eliminated back pain when standing or walking for long periods. I also recommend Vionic shoes, particularly for sandals and slip-ons. The key is the high, firm arch support.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
Are you sure it's plantar fasciitis and not gout?Either way... try eliminating sugar from your diet, or at the very least added sugars. You'll be surprised at what happens (you'll also be surprised at how difficult it is).
have a patient who's a retired podiatrist-he confirmed a lot of the advise given here-golf ball, frozen water bottle roll, shoe arch support inserts, stretching exercises including the achilles, calf, etc plus NSAIDS TID-all massive improvement-there is light at the end of the tunnel boys
