WALKING ON MY GOOD FOOT!




https://www.pinterest.com



I felt blessed because I made it passage
60without foot problems. Some of my 
friends said they experience numbness 
and arthritic foot pain sometimes. I had 
compassion for them because this 
affected their daily activities.


I must have been in la-la land when 
I decided to try Zumba exercises. 
I was elated after two months of Zumba 
lessons and loose fitting pants. One 
morning I woke up with heel and foot
pain as I walked to the bathroom.
I wondered if this is what "falling 
arches" felt like. I rushed to my 
computer and looked up my symptoms. 
researched Zumba exercise websites. 
Some women were complaining about 
experiencing foot and heel discomfort. 
I checked several websites and watched
videos to see what remedy I needed to try 
to ease my pain. It seems that I had all the 
symptoms of plantar fasciitis. 

The one thing that eased my pain, was 
switching low heeled shoes with good 
arch supports.  I went in my closets and
threw all of my high heels and clogs in
a laundry basket. My mom was thrilled 
when she received my basket of shoes. 
I went shoe shopping and was blessed
to find a good shoe sale. I bought shoes 
for every day and semi-formal occasions. 
The next thing I did was roll the soles of
my feet on a water bottle several times
a day. 




This allowed me to go shopping an hour 
without experiencing pain. I also bought 
a foot roller which helped too.

I thank God for healing because I wasn't 
able to stand on my feet long when I 
shopped, cooked, and did household 
chores. I was healed from my plantar 
fasciitis.  I am pain-free now. I try to 
be wise and not drool when I  see 
beautiful pair of high heels. I don't
want to do anything to cause recurrent
foot and heel pain.

I have given up high impact exercises 
because I have mild arthritis in my knee 
and hip. I have to do some type of 
exercise if I want to stay healthy.
The Senior Center near my house gives
Chair Exercises and Chair Yoga classes
weekly. Here are some demos of these
classes:

These classes were great and I was able
to do them in spite of my plantar fasciitis.
