I thought I was crazy....
..but apparently I'm not. It is possible to hurt the bottom of your feet.
Seriously - my feet hurt when I get up. By hurt I mean, I have trouble walking on them without excruciating pain. Its at its worst in the early morning (no rushing to the bathroom - its an old age hobble....) but it tends to ease as the day goes on.
But I managed to make it oh so worse this week.
See - my plan for my unemployment is to do the things I really love that I never had time for while I was working. So one piece of that plan is to get exercising. I even wrote out a schedule - and it generally involves exercising twice a day. So not long and arduous exercise at first... need to get back into the grove without hurting myself... however, it appears that even that little bit is causing a bit of a problem.
Now my feet have been hurting for a couple of months - but this week they've wratcheted up a notch (I'm pretty sure I spelt that wrong, however, I don't seem to care enough to fix it....). Seems that a long walk in bad shoes could be the cause of what I have now. Basically I've torn the fascia muscle that attaches my achilles to the bottom of my foot.
Not understand?
Neither do I really. Can't fathom how I could do this one - but it means I need to be off my feet - and no more thongs or bare feet!!
Fuck. I'm finally unemployed and can go barefoot and then I'm told I can't!!!!!
grumble, grumble, grumble.
Oh well - off to my first ice foot bath.
It will be fun to track how many different and weird injuries I can come up with over the next few months as I try to get back into shape....

Interestingly, I have come across a similar problem with my feet. All throughout my teenage years in Mexico I wasn't the greatest of athletes but was still quite fit, albeit quite skinny. I moved to Sydney about two years ago and became more physically active, and that's when the problems rose. I realized that I am not capable of running as fast my friends. And just a few months ago I did a very long trek near Manly, and my feet starting hurting real bad. I had absolutely no idea what was going on. They kept hurting for a while. So I went to see a doctor, and the guy told me I had flat feet. At twenty years of age and of being quite sure of how my body is and works, I had no idea I had flat feet. Now I have to wear pads in my shoes, and the problem comes and goes. Right now it has become a real pain whenever I walk or run long distances, even if I wear the pads. This is bad... I'd better see the doctor again asap. :(

The same with me. My feet only started to hurt in Australia! However, I went to a podiastrist who measured me for inserts which I've installed in one pair of walking shoes. They have really helped me a lot and in fact now, when my feet do hurt, a walk in the shoes with inserts will usually put them right. Now that it's summer, I've gone back to flip flops and everything seems okay so far.
