Thanks for all the great info. I saw the doc yesterday, actually a different doc as my usual GP was called up to Iraq! :(
Anyway, he said my pain is not quite in the usual spot for PF. It's more above the heel in the arch of the foot. So he had me get an Xray to rule out any foreign bodies in my foot. He asked if I had injured it, and I said that I am such a klutz that if I did, I wouldn't remember because I'm so used to injuring myself in stupid ways. :)
At any rate, I was telling my hubby this on the phone (he's out of town), and when he heard "foreign bodies" he got confused for a moment, probably because we had just been talking about the Iraq war. I think he was thinking, irrationally of course, that there was a "body" in my foot. I laughed and laughed, and when I was telling this to my friend Racer, we started doing the "Horton Hears a Who" routine: "We are HERE! We are HERE! We are HERE!"
So obviously it doesn't hurt so bad that I've lost my sense of humor.
Sigh.
Hopefully it's not a Who with a little spear jabbing at my foot. I'm on an anti-inflammatory now, and he showed me some stretches. Told me not to wear the heels I was wearing, sigh. I need to get (gasp!) sensible shoes. sigh
Oh well, an excuse to wear gymmers to work. 'cept I hate shoes and socks. Sandals or loafers to work are so much better for taking them off between clients.
Thanks again,
gg
