Hello All,
I developed Plantar fasciitis, which is an intense heel pain, worse after resting...when I say intense..twice I’ve got out on bed, put my foot down and fell, due to the pain in the heel being so bad, I just fell...doesn’t seem to be any reason for it...
However, apparently unrelated, I have foot drop on the same foot...double whammy or what!
GP really sympathetic but simply noted my records as she knew I could simply adjust painkillers to suit...although pain killer don’t touch the heel pain.
I referred myself to my neuro-physio, as I was attending her MS physio group anyway, and she’s referred me to the orthotic guy for some help.
I already have a 'foot- up' brace, but that simply makes the heel pain worse...so I’m hoping the orthotic/ surgical appliance guy can come up with something that will help.
It goes without saying, that a foot that drags along the ground, coupled with this bloody heel pain. (Plantar fasciitis) is exhausting, and sodding painful...
I can’t see the orthotic guy for 2 weeks, but hopefully he can come up with some sorta brace/ come splint that will help.
As per. They have no idea how long the foot drop may last, nor the Plantar fasciitis pain....

The worse thing now is the spasms of back pain I experience when standing for any longer than a couple of minutes. These disappear the moment I sit down. Has anyone any experience of this or any idea why it happens and what I can do about it? Thank you!
Hi all, thought I would run this past you, if I might.
Last night whilst asleep I was woken by the feeling that my throat had stopped working. I couldn't breathe or swallow. It lasted for seconds, but I sat up in bed coughing , choking and gasping.
I lie on my stomach not my back and don't snore.
It has happened at least ten times over the last few months and always at night whilst asleep.
Does anyone else experience this.
Tia,

I wonder if anyone can recommend a medication for the above. I have broken a glass and cannot carry drinks with my right hand as it shakes. I have found that medics don't make suggestions so it would help me to know what you guys find helpful...
LEG Spasm. My most distressing symptom that I really wish I could minimize.I already stretch and use an exercise bike. Any help would be much appreciated.
