Planar fasciitis or a side effect?
Hi everyone,
My right foot has been very painful for a few months now. I mentioned to my oncologist a few times and saw my primary care doctor, and they both said I have planar fasciitis - probably a result of the flat shoes I started wearing during chemo, or maybe my old tennis shoes that I wear when hiking, or maybe a result/side effect of some of my treatments?
It hurts a lot, especially after I've been resting - say when I wake up and step on it, I can barely walk. It's getting to be very bothersome, to the point that it is impacting my quality of life. I want to start a running program now that I've moved closer to a lot of trails, or even continue my hikes, but until this is resolved, I'm at a standstill.
Has anyone dealt with this before? Any tips?
Thank you so much!
Marcia
On another news, I had a CT scan yesterday and it was all clear, woohoo! They found a cyst in my ovaries, but honestly, that's nothing to worry about compared to everything I've dealt with so far...
