The very first week of 2011 saw me back on my treadmill jogging the holiday jiggle off of my body...only to be foiled by my left foot pooping out hours after my workout. It started with a sharp pain on the outside of my foot that wrapped its way around the bottom and up to the back of my heel. As the day wore on I was only able to walk on that foot if I was up on my tiptoes. Not good.
The next morning I called the podiatrist here in town and was greatly relieved when he was able to squeeze me in that very day. After a set of x-rays and an evaluation he determined I have tendonitis. Not severe but enough to cause me problems.
The prescription:
-icing my foot 3-4 times a day for 10-15 minutes at a time
-wear shoes AT ALL TIMES (I do NOT like to wear shoes in my house!)
-take an anti-inflamatory (he gave me a prescription that my lovely insurance would not cover so I am taking generic Motrin)
-wear GOOD shoes. Bye-bye Uggs and say hello to my new Dansko shoes.
and
(these I chose because they were on sale. If I had been willing to pay full price I would have gone with this or this)
I am lovin' my Petrol Mary Janes!! They make me happy and more importantly my foot feels happy!
PS~My darling friend, Andy, usually has fabulous shoes to show every Tuesday. She's on vacation this week so I'm not positive if she will have anything today. Nevertheless, go check out her fun blog!!
