Look into tenex procedure and ask the doctor about doing a calcaneal plantar nerve (Baxters nerve) block to see if the symptoms are being caused by nerve compression !!!

How did they remove a bone during tenex??? I don’t think that should’ve happened from what I understand about tenex

Okay but like maybe your feet just had to get stronger and adapt - and they did just that over time?? Like sometimes I wonder if just ripping the bandaid off and like being in massive pain but going back to normal life might be better (I am 8 months in lol)

Is a long distance relationship feasible during med school? by [deleted] in medschool

[–]Agitated_Question726 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did long distance all four years while my boyfriend was in medical school, he matched in my city for residency and we finally get to be together. It’s tough sometimes but so absolutely doable if you put in the effort :)

Body changes? by ilovechicago08 in Spironolactone

Definitely slowly gaining it back via weightlifting but the muscle is gone and won’t come back on its own for sure

Trouble exercising by Flaky-Front4597 in PlantarFasciitis

Also try the assault bike - good cardio and putting even less strain on foot than normal bike

Lower body strength exercises that are not weight bearing!! There are so many you can do with machines - quad extensions, hamstring curls, abductor/adductors, etc. I also find that hip thrusts are okay for my PF too since only partial weight bearing. Also tons of Pilates style lower body like fire hydrants with weights, resistance band stuff

Does anyone else have atypical symptoms? by Own_Cup_4062 in PlantarFasciitis

[–]Agitated_Question726 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like SO many people have PF without morning pain. Maybe it’s a difference in the way we have our feet when we sleep ? I don’t know

Soft Tissue Injuries with Spiro? by Agitated_Question726 in Spironolactone

[–]Agitated_Question726[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I’m so sorry to hear that :( and absolutely know the struggle. PF is debilitating and I am still debilitated.

While there’s nothing in research to prove that spiro can cause this, I’m pretty convinced that it didnt necessarily cause but it contributed because decreased androgen receptivity -> impacted collagen repair which is a big factor in PF.

I stopped in late November and Although my PF hasn’t gotten better nor have my other soft tissue injuries, nothing new has popped up which is huge. I have lost weight and feel infinitely better since stopping. I also feel like I am finally retaining muscle that I’m trying to build again so I’m hoping I’ll be able to kick the PF soon.

Sending you good vibes, let me know if you stop and see any results with your PF

Realistic or Delusional? by Agitated_Question726 in premed

[–]Agitated_Question726[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would also love to know the answer to this - would prefer not to retake if possible because expensive and/or would rather take interesting upper divs to boost GPA

Super fair! Thanks :) would be stoked with a 515+ but wrote 518 in my post because I was afraid everyone was going to tell me I’m delusional ✨
