Just wanted to say a very big thank you to everyone who replied to my message earlier this week. I found your words of support and kindness very touching. I still feel quite down but today I did see a physiotherapist (been on waiting list for many months). She reassured me that the pain I am experiencing in my foot is due to Overuse and I must learn to walk again more gradually. I will continue the foot exercises and try to be more positive. Thank you again for your support. Sheila
So glad it helped a bit Sheila_C and that the physio says she can help. I’m a Pilates teacher and have a lot of rehab, I’ll look up my ‘foot’ material & see if there’s anything that might help.
Baby steps m’dear, you’ll gradually start to notice you’re feeling a bit better & it all adds up. Good for you xx
Hi Shiela, I'm so pleased you have seen a physio and it sounds like a mechanical problem that can be sorted with the relative exercises. Just don't be in too much hurray these things take time but it is worth it in the end! Start with baby steps! Once you can walk again, you will feel much better I hope!
Love Annette x
