Can you use orthotics with the Hoka's? |

Sorry to hear that Ted. I'm back trying to slowly build running having had 5 months completely off. Going ok so far but PF def not completely gone. Physio said to tape the foot up and continue to run as it would take ages to go completely. So I'll keep doing a bit of running every other day provided things are not getting worse/more painful. I've been wearing fit flops a lot - no idea whether they help at all but they are DEF comfy. Btw - am seeing NHS physio now and to be honest he's not really treating it (no ultrasound or anything) but is advising me and also looking at any weaknesses I may have in that leg etc (all seems to be ok - just overtraining led to PF). Don't give up! Have you tried taping? | |

| Barry, when you say you used tape for 2 weeks do you mean whilst resting or continuing to run? | |

Hi Beth - just back from hols so thought I'd look in here. No running at all for me. Most of the time I am fine then there will be a day or so when the foot aches, mostly randomly as far as I can tell (i.e. not related to what I've done). I'm stretching, doing lots of strength exercises - and also cycling, aqua jogging, spinning, using cross trainer...(admittedly getting more lazy with all this as time goes on though). I finally get to start NHS physio at beginning of Sept (having been referred in July) and was told when I was referred if I was not back running in October then they would do ultrasound ad look at other treatment options (i.e. cortisone injection). So given all the stretching etc effort I am putting in, the complete rest from running for nearly 5 months now I am VERY frustrated that I still am feeling it. I have very down days when I doubt I will ever get back to running, it seems to be an injury with a life of its own and what I try to do to improve it doesn't seem to help.... Sometimes I wonder if I should just try a run regardless and stuff the consequences..... Good to hear from you anyway Beth - let me know if you manage to continue to increase the run times? | |

Jennn that sounds encouraging, must admit I am on month 5 of this PF now and have been getting lazier on stretches and exercises. Maybe it is worth the effort!! I have been keeping active with swim and cycle but no running. Feeling a bit disillusioned, will it ever get better? Most days it is pretty fine but will then randomly start to ache, very boring!
Good to have some company on here tho. | |
