[at-l] Foot Problems

[papa_bear_nyc@yahoo.com (Papa Bear)]

 This sounds like Plantar Faciitis.  It's an inflamation of the ligament that goes over the heel and across the bottom of the foot.  It can be serious and take a long time to heel.  I suggest you see a professional.
The root cause is often tightness in the calf, which then pulls on this ligament.
Treatment is usually ice, stretching, Advil, etc.   Sometimes people also get help wearing a "night splint" which is a device that stretches the calf while you sleep.
Don't ignore this one.

I get the same thing on occassion but it never lasts long so I've never 
bothered trying to figure out what's going on. I'll be curious to see what 
folks say on it.
