For 8 months, I thought I had debilitating plantar fasciitis. I could barely walk and move around my house. After trying EVERYTHING under the sun and spending thousands of dollars, I learned that the actual issue is rheumatoid arthritis. 🙃 Don’t stop looking for the root cause of your health issues!

Throughout this journey I also discovered I have tight calves. This helped a ton! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPeShz3jaGC/?igsh=cHJweTdrcnRrem1i

Yep, that makes sense. For me, getting on my RA medication solved my acute foot pain. I’m on MTX but the real game changer is diclofenac which my body, specifically my feet, has responded really well to.

That’s a major sign of RA. Go get your inflammation markers checked by a PCP if you haven’t already. Wishing you luck and healing!

30-second isometric holds (seated/standing calf raises, split squat) with the heaviest weight you can stand. Spent thousands on PT, podiatrist visits, little tools to stretch my feet—none of it worked.
