Voihan koipi / Foot issues

Tulipa tanaan siten joulun paatteeksi pyorahdettya laakarissa. Koipi sentaan. Kyseessa olisi tuo toinen takakoipi. Floridan reissun jalkeen vasemman jalan kantapaa aloitti vihoittelun ja aamuisin ylosnousu oli ihan kamalaa kun jalalle astuminen sattui kovasti. Kipu siita hellitti ja pystyin kavelemaan ihan normaalisti  ja seuraavana aamuna sitten sama kipu taas. Pikkuhiljaa kipu on vaan yltynyt ja nyt pelkastaan 10min istumisen jalkeen kun nousee ylos niin sama kipu kuin aamulla. Jalka ei ole turvonnut eika siina nay mitaan. Kantapaata painellessa tuntuu kuin siina olisi vanha mustelma. No nyt vihdoin oli pakko menna laakariin nayttamaan tata koipea nayttamaan niin paljon siihen aamulla sattuu.
Diagnoosi oli plantar fasciitis eli plantaarifaskiitti (kantapaakipu joka on siis jalkapohjan jannekalvon krooninen ylirasittuminen). Kuulemma kuin suoraan oppikirjasta. Tulipa sitten oltu jaloilla niin paljon Floridassa etta kantapaa artyi siita ja on nyt sen takia sitten kipea. Ei ole paassyt parantumaan koska olen niin paljon jaloillani paivisin. Laakarin maarays oli 2-3 viikkoa mahdollisimman paljon pois jaloilta (mitenkohan se onnistuu kahden muksun ja koiran kanssa?), kylmaa usempi kerta paivassa ja vaikkei kipua aina tuntuisikaan niin tulehduskipulaakkeita pitkin paiva kunnes aamuinen kipu haviaa. Etta silleen.
Siina meni sitten mun pitka viikonloppureissu Philadelphiaan mun rakasta ystavaa katsomaan. Olisin kayttanyt hyvakseni aidin taallaolon lastenkaitsijana. No, mutta siis reissu siis siirtyy johonkin hamaan tulevaa. Kylla ketuttaa. Olin niin odottanut tata pienta itriottoa kotoota ihan itsekseni ilman mun mussukoita.

I did end my Christmas today with a doctor's visit. Darn! It's my left foot. After our Florida trip my left heel started getting sore and in the mornings it was terrible to get up as the heel was so painfully sore. After few minutes the pain dissipated and I've been able to walk normally and next morning the same pain. Gradually my the pain has just gotten worse and worse and now even a little time sitting down and then getting up causes the same pain as in the morning. My foot is not swollen and there's no visual signs of anything being wrong. When pushing on my heel it just feels bruised. Now I had to go and show it to the doctor as the pain is absolutely unbearable in the mornings.
Diagnosis was plantar fasciitis which is a pain in a heel caused by an inflammation in the plantar fascia. According to the doctor mine is a text book case. The heel got irritated with all the time we spent on our feet in Florida and that caused the inflammation as well. It hasn't had a chance to get any better as I spend so much time during the day on my feet. Treatment by doctor's orders 2-3 weeks off of my feet as much as possible (how can I achieve that with two girls and a dog?), cold on the heel several times per day and anti-inflammatory pain medication until the pain in the morning goes away. So that's that.
That's my long weekend visit to Philadelphia to see my dear friend. I was going to use my mother to look after the girls while I was gone. But now that trip is going to be moved.... to some time in future. I'm so so annoyed. I was so looking forward to this break from home and my wee ones and to having my own time.
