Plantar Fasciitis Help
I inherited some pretty great things from my mom. Thick hair, a great laugh and a love of cooking. However, I also was lucky enough to inherit her extremely high arches. I'm talking record breaking arches. This served me well as a dancer through college, having some pretty great pointed toes. After college I began running and took an interest in long distance running. When I would go to buy a new pair of running shoes, I would get my feet evaluated to see what type of shoe is best. The store employee would always stare in disbelief on how high my arches are. I mean if you're going to do something well, you might as well do it really well!
Lately I have noticed a sharp pain in my arches on both of my feet. I figured it was temporary, maybe from a long run or even I needed to get a new pair of shoes. At night, the pain is the worst, even affecting my sleep. After going to the doctor, I learned that I suffer from plantar fasciitis. The plantar fascia is actually a group of ligaments that connect the heel to the front of the foot, supporting the arch. They act as shock absorbers that help protect your arch from breakdown over time. Plantar fasciitis is actually a condition where the ligaments become inflamed and causes pain in stiffness in the arch and heel. Good times, right?
Those who are most susceptible to plantar fasciitis are:
- women
- those who stand on their feet for long periods of time
- long distance runners
- pregnant women
- those with tight Achilles tendons
One of the most popular forms of treatment is ice for 15-20 minutes several times a day. Well, since I have about 5 minutes a day to worry about myself, I knew I needed to come up with another solution. I tend to use cremes because they are fast, convenient, and fairly inexpensive. I came across Livrelief online and knew I needed to try it. I used it consistently every night for 5 nights and I have to say my arch pain is so much better! One thing I don't like about the popular muscle creams you find at the store is that they smell bad and are greasy! Like oil up all your clothes greasy.... But not this cream. Livrelief has no odor is has the consistency of a lotion, so it rubs in easily.
I am so glad I heard about this product. As a mom, I have my go-to favorite brands of all types of mediations for me and my kids. This product has made it into my favorites for sure!
