Maybe it will help!<br /><br />Oh, and the knee is getting better. I have to do my foam roller every night but it works wonders!!!Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13375539923540548343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4979822866701300004.post-32535950240574669542011-07-13T09:38:11.073-05:002011-07-13T09:38:11.073-05:00Thanks, Jane!

I've also iced some but only when it is hurting the most. I've had PT treatments which gave me great massages but my regular massage therapists are reluctant to get in there and "dig." Do you have a link to the "socks?" I've tried one solution like that but it wasn't a sock ... couldn't sleep with it at all!<br /><br />Take care of that knee!Lorihttp://lburleson.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4979822866701300004.post-70863389575331080952011-07-13T08:51:57.610-05:002011-07-13T08:51:57.610-05:00Hi Mrs. Lori.

I would work on Mom's feet a lot and get my little thumbs up in there. It hurts, but it breaks up the gritty stuff (I have no idea what it is) and helps with healing. Ice works too, and if you can stick your foot in ice water - that is good. I can hardly stand that so I just sit it on an ice pack.<br /><br />Stretching your calves helps as well. After a walk, when they are warmed up, stretch each one for 30 seconds a few times a day. <br /><br />They also sell these socks you can sleep in that holds your foot up, so it does not point and get stiff in that position. That makes getting out of bed easier (I hear that is the worst time with PF). <br /><br />I sure hope that gets well and SOON!Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13375539923540548343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4979822866701300004.post-49838832377746743662011-07-13T08:32:43.087-05:002011-07-13T08:32:43.087-05:00So sorry to hear you are suffering with your "...So sorry to hear you are suffering with your "knee knob" problem. Makes me wonder how on earth you have continued to do all you do. That last sentence comes from a lady who has been dealing with plantar fasciitis since last October and has hardly exercised because of it ... not good!! Have you had to deal with "PF" and do you have any suggestions for me, "running lady?"Lorihttp://lburleson.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4979822866701300004.post-69809606015464374592011-07-08T16:27:13.913-05:002011-07-08T16:27:13.913-05:00Ha!

You can come over and do foam roller with me...it's my new best friend. We can groan and complain together and call it a party!
