I was wondering how many of you out there have had problem with your feet and pain and if so, does it get better after you start to lose? For me, the worst part of being overweight has always been the foot pain. I am not a diabetic but suffer from some neuropathy and occasional bouts of plantar fasciitis. I just need to hear that there will be some relief from these aches and pains. PLEASE????:girl_hug:

Hi all,

Had PF about 7 years ago and went through Physical therapy and got some 200 dollar orthodics. I've lost 53 pounds and still occasionally hurt but don't wear the orthodics very often.

Best treatment for the PF, for me....icing the heal and arch three or more times a day for 7 minutes at a time. Straight ice on the foot. It takes the inflamation out of it. Then stretching it. I do calf stretches and hamstring stretches against the wall. I also kneel down and put my toes bent at a 90 degree angle. Then push back so the stretch is in the arch. I have limited flexibility in my ankles and toes..so that was part of what began the problem for me. Ice, Ice baby..really works and oddly, feels good.
