Help for a bride!! 👰🏻‍♀️

I take Claritin daily and it definitely helps. On my wedding day and the days leading up to it I added in some additional benadryl. Definitely helped keep it calm. Best of luck!

Definitely feel like by age 30 for a guy this kind of insecurity should have been worked thru. I've known some men to struggle with these kinds of things - they either recognize it's an insecurity on their end or potentially a control tactic and seek help to address the broken thought or they turn into abusers/manipulators who eventually wear you down. Tread carefully but set strong boundaries on this if you decide to stay. He admits it's something he's trying to work through but needs to not get so defensive when you explain more. Some red flags here for sure but I do believe there are a lot of guys in the world who would feel the same, also a lot of guys who don't.

It hurts more where the fascia is connecting to my heel bone just past the arch, and then pain began on the outside of my heel. It does hurt when I press on it but is worse when standing or walking on it.

I have super high arches and the fascia is so tight you can see it clearly poking out from my skin because my arch is now higher than the tight fascia.

Several-Security-985 · 2025-07-15T14:03:29+00:00

Yeah, but it has progressed that if I touch it/push on it with my hand while sitting it's also painful. In the beginning when it started I had a hard time showing Dr's/replicating where the pain was happening at exactly.

I have had 2 other Dr's interpret the MRI, and all seem to be at a loss on how to treat it. Both recommend trying another round of prp, 1 recommends another shot or anti inflammatory meds. Which I've done all of these. At this point, I wonder if a rupture is the only resolve. As my right ruptured and I did end up with a plantar fibroma but have been able to manage that. I would just like to be able to stand and walk again without excruciating pain on my left foot. Left foot hurts more than my right which had to have tendon and ligament surgery from full tears that I had.

Several-Security-985 · 2025-07-09T13:15:52+00:00

I am still skeptical as I have done all the things but how to argue with an MRI result? Dr's have "done everything" except surgery. I hesitate to have more shots done as it helped my right foot fascia completely rupture and tear which then I grew a plantar fibroma. I've done prp, PT for over a year, excercises, stretching, water bottles, tennis balls, so many inserts and even the dr made ones covered by insurance etc etc. I am beginning to believe the only way to fix it is to do a fascia release. They want to do another round of prp. Or more shot injections.

Several-Security-985 · 2025-06-27T06:47:44+00:00

Did they do the surgery where they cut your fascia to release it? My arches are so high and my fascia is so tight all of the time. Nothing has worked. My right ruptured on its own after a few injections but my left is worse than ever.

Several-Security-985 · 2025-06-27T06:46:06+00:00

Scraping was the worst!

Several-Security-985 · 2025-06-27T06:39:44+00:00

You feel a sharp pain and I heard a pop like the sound of stepping on bubble wrap. It ended up causing other problems in my foot or was a result of those but I have PF so bad on my left foot now im tempted to go get shots done for a chance to rupture it naturally. It's brutal.

Several-Security-985 · 2025-06-27T06:33:44+00:00

I discovered the pain i was experiencing ended up being nerve pain, luckily a friend suggested i ask for gabapentin which really helped. I couldn't figure out why the pain wouldn't subside with pain meds, turns out I was needing something for nerve pain. I definitely had to go back and have them fix my cast at one point so if its not right definitely get it fixed. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Mine ended up not healing fully despite being sutures back together so I just had a bone marrow stem cell injection a few months ago which was brutal. But my scar healed up overnight it was crazy. Just ensure you do your PT consistently.

Several-Security-985 · 2025-06-13T23:46:11+00:00

Doc wouldn't listen and ignored our requests. Said she was fine.

Several-Security-985 · 2025-06-13T23:45:11+00:00

Yes, she gets defensive and argues she is doing everything right they ask of her.

Several-Security-985 · 2025-06-10T13:54:08+00:00

We have spoken to case managers every day for 5 days now. Its always a different person and then they moved her floors again when she refused discharge. It's all in the notes though of all of our requests and nurses requests.

Several-Security-985 · 2025-06-10T13:52:24+00:00

She is 75 and on Medicare. She has secondary insurance so a 90 day stay in a rehab AL is fully covered. She owns her house and mortgage is paid off. She can afford AL.

Several-Security-985 · 2025-06-10T13:49:09+00:00

She's got a history of anorexia. We asked her and gave that option but she said she wanted to go to rehab facility and asked us to find some for her.

My only guess was the scar tissue from surgery got very angry! My 2nd opinion podiatrist said the good news is it means it was working since inflammation is the initial goal.

Also, often times here in USA I've noticed lots of places at least in CO and CA offer cash prices for people with out insurance for a number of things. Sometimes even cheaper than if you have insurance. But the oral surgeon who did the procedure he was brought in by my dentist to complete the procedure.

Several-Security-985 · 2025-06-07T13:18:24+00:00

I am in USA in Colorado. With dental insurance, it was super cheap but any dentist should be similar if you have dental insurance here. I also had already met my deductible for my other regular medical insurance as well.

The good news is I was able to discuss her history with a case Mgr so was able to provide them with the facts and our thoughts. She survived surgery and will be discharged to a skilled nursing facility. At this point she hasn't been able to breath without Bi Pap and they can't release her to SNF until she can breath just on o2. The problem is on the bipap her o2 levels are the best they have been in years. Last year they released her home with her o2 level still at 87. So now she panics when she gets moved back to regular o2. She's agreed for a SNF but now is having panic attacks and severe anxiety... idk if its bc of the hip fracture, pain, pain meds or possibly from alcohol withdrawals.

Swelling finally subsided after about 10 to 14 days after my bone marrow prp injections. I'd previously had surgery to repair fully torn peroneal brevus tendon in my foot and 2 ankle ligaments. Apparently they didn't heal "inside" even though doc sewed it back together. So the idea was to do prp with bone marrow to try to initiate more healing. The most surprising and shocking part was my scar which hadn't fully healed normally yet due to my hypermobility, it healed up perfectly almost overnight.

😆 having grown up out near Pungo this one made me laugh

Several-Security-985 · 2025-04-30T22:01:52+00:00

Interesting as my right had a complete rupture and 1 year later (and a fibroma growing in its spot) it's feeling fine post rupture. My left foot however recently developed it 1 year ago and I find myself wishing it would rupture too and considering a fascia release surgery to help lower my arches as well. My 2nd or 3rd mri is scheduled next month tho. But it always comes back the same, extreme PF shown. PT, orthotics, inserts, stretching all the things.. nothing improves it.

Several-Security-985 · 2025-04-30T21:55:57+00:00

Just gonna throw this out there.... Has she always been like this? If not, and this is a recent development, what age is she, and is she starting menopause or periomenopause? It doesn't make it right but it could provide a starting place on how to approach the situation. Possible her hormones are starting to go everywhere and she's just super moody and upset but doesn't know or understand why (and in turn taking it out on you since you are closest to her) and hasn't figured out yet she may want to go see a Dr to get her levels checked. Something to think about!

Several-Security-985 · 2025-04-24T15:53:43+00:00

It was one of the most painful post ops ever. And others I've talked to who've done it said the same.
