If it is Plantar Fasciitis there seems to be a connection to low thyroid. How's your thyroid hormone levels? Free T3? Reverse T3? Do you have other low thyroid symptoms? Just something else to consider.

Either the heel or the arch of the foot gets very painful and inflammed, and usually after it has been resting, such as when you are sleeping. Tends to be much worse in the morning and you can get a bit of relief by using the foot, but resting it tends to make it worse. I had a bad case of it for about two months. I got arch supports for my shoes to stretch the arch because that is where my pain was. I took 1 gram of magnesium nightly and that helped a bit. What I believed turned the corner for me was taking a high dose of omega fish oils, 3 times a day along with a mineral supplement, but I still took the mag at night. I also had foot and lower leg cramping too. The magnesium really helped that, so I still take 500 mgs nightly now. I didn't soak my feet in epsom salts, but that might have been helpful. I know it can attack the heel and achilles tendon area of the foot. You might want to Google Plantar Fasciitis to see if you can find your symptoms and some remedies for it.

I can hardly stand on them and yet there is no lumps or bumps. My feet also cramp constantly and everything from the knees down is swollen. My doctor says it's not a circulation issue but the only things that help are epsom salts and eeping feet up. even the bone that attaches from my heel to the rest of my anle hurts. That's why I was wondering what they are and what to do i've tried everything prescription and nothing has owrked. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
