Vent away, much better than bottling it up as that will cause you even more problems!! Like you, I have other conditions to go with the MS, each condition can overlap, so I don't really know for sure what is causing what symptoms. Have you any ideas what is causing the fascitis in your feet?? I have learnt not to assume that every new symptom is down to exisiting conditions. Some you can say, yeah that's the MS or this is something else, but not everytime. May be an idea to get your feet checked out Bon.

Owl, I'm not sure what is causing the plantars, I use to only have it in one foot and It wasnt bad, now its in both feet and so bad I cant walk, so time to get em checked out I guess. The pain is getting unbearable. :( Hugs!

You usually find that any medical word with the letters *itis* on the end of it indicates inflammation/infection. If infection, then it can be caused by a bacteria, so could probably be sorted with abx treatment. Inflammation can be caused by something else like a long term condition ie arthritis or shortening of connecting fibrous tissue or fusion of bones. I'm not trying to scare you, just give you examples of what may be causing the problem yeah?? So, get your tootsies checked and let me know by pm the results if you don't mind. At the very least you chould be given anti-infammatory treatment to ease the pain.
Hugs, Owlxx

That sounds very painful, ive never heard of that. sorry your going through so much. Get it checked out as soon as you can.
((hugs))

So sorry you are going through so much Bonnie.

The old adage 'When it rains, it pours' seems to be soooo true. I've been 'down' for over 3 weeks now with no help in sight and Ive had one thing after the other pile on. I truly feel your pain girl.
I hope things improve for you very soon.

Big (((hugs)))

Hi

I know your pain.years ago I had a flare that made my heels hurt like no one can imagine, even got a red ring around the bottom where it changes color. I was fat so discarded it as a weight problem, also happened with the hug. So I purchased new shoes and no changes, massages, nope, no help, try epsom salt it relieves some. One day it just went away it came back almost twenty years later.

Hope yours leave soon.

Bon- plantar warts are very painful-I had one removed by a podiatrist about 15 years ago and it never came back-there is some over counter wart stuff you could ask your doc about trying- but if the wart thing is too far gone for that -go to a good podiatrist. I like that you do not keep things in till you explaode- this is where I come to vent-to people who understand when I ssay something is not wroking in my body or my memorey problems.A huge huge to you my dear.Ellen
