I hobbled out to get a delivery from a Jamaican guy who asked what the problem was….. he said his grandmother and her grandmother had the remedy…… cut an onion in half and rub it on the affected area for a few minutes then go to bed. if I ever meet this guy again I will buy him a beer!! It worked and within 48 hours I was running again. don’t ask me how or why it worked but it bloody did. give it a bash I'm thinking don't be ridiculous, but tomorrow night I'll be cutting an onion in half, nothing to lose.

Hope it gets better soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Oh one last suggestion. When all has returned to normal I use Sorbathane Inserts in my boots and shoes. Very comfortable for long hours on the hoof! https://sorbothane.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 I had it, and was advised to buy an insert for my shoe/s. I did, and it worked well, after a month or two. No longer in pain now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billytheghillie Posted July 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Well sitting here with one of those boot splints on my left foot, all day my two feet felt as if they were on fire, even walking does not reduce the pain. Going to start climbing the walls soon, its getting unbearable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob85 Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 29 minutes ago, billytheghillie said: yes i have been doing them. This is one of the newer exercises that physios are giving out to patients. When I was studying on my sports therapy course we used a lot of content from these guys. Hope the link works. Its quite an advanced looking technique but if you have stairs in the house you can improvise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wear insoles in my work boots similar to these. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/182390541198?hash=item2a7752cb8e:g:jCAAAOSw3gJZNyCe These look like a newer version of mine. It used to be both of my feet but it's just the left at the moment, I also almost always wear berghaus shoes when out and about because I found an orthopedic sole they do. I put some of this on my foot probably two weeks ago and the release was instant, I think this was because I'm walking wrong so stretching the tendons and twisting the ankle. We were out all day today and it's not been too bad, iced it when we got back as I always do. Treat it like you would a sports injury. Now off to bed smelling of onions, what's the worst that could happen 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mice! Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 Started the day fine yesterday which is always a surprise, anyone who has had this knows you get out of bed and test your foot, see how it feels, before you put full weight on. Did the onion thing last night, started the day fine ( with a shower 😄) see how we go. I use two of these as well, this one is solid, the other has some give to it.

Scully Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 https://www.healthandcare.co.uk/achilles-tendon-supports/aircast-plantar-fasciitis-airheel-ankle-brace.html This is what I had. Cured my plantar which I had in both feet, until they wore out, and then it slowly returned. Bought another pair and wore out those too. Have done the exercises I mentioned ever since and have had no pain now for well over a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
