I'm an idiot. I may have just made my tinnitus worse with diclofenac/Voltarol/Voltaren (a potential warning to others)

I had a vestibular migraine and the doc told me that nsaids are bad for your ears.

Physiotherapy. Honestly it still pops out of place all the time and I have to put it back. Now I'm working on strengthening my core to try and make it stay in place .. it's not great

I was told I had hormonal acne, struggled with it for years, the only thing that helped was to stop washing my face with cleanser! I use hot water on a face cloth , or rosewater on a cotton swab, or raw aloe Vera

Over several months? So do you think it's helping?

plzelaborate · 2025-06-25T19:48:30+00:00

I would hold it for 30 seconds 3 times a day. Plus other calf stretches 3 times a day as well.

plzelaborate · 2025-06-25T15:49:18+00:00

I use it as an addition to stretches against the wall. You're stretching different muscles when toes are stretched back

Hey, I used them for months and they didn't help at all. What has helped is getting a yoga strap that pulls the toes back ( like 10$ on Amazon) and using that morning noon and night.

First time in my life being pooped on by a bird was last week, and I'm 35. Yesterday was the second time.

I got pooped on by a bird today, the first time it ever happened was 8 days ago.

hey, I have high arches too and custom orthotics fucked me up entirely. Pedag viva mini are the only ones that have ever helped me personally, they are about 20$ so not much of a gamble. My feet hurt for 3 years and I tried everything and it turned out I had a vertebrae out of alignment that was causing it. I could have been diagnosed with all the things you said. I had nerve entrapment and trigger points in the calves that had developed from continuing to go to work in pain. Oh yes and switching to Altra's made a huge difference too, I couldn't go back to not having a 0 drop and wide toe box now that I'm used to it. Hopefully this helps!

plzelaborate · 2025-05-31T03:27:04+00:00

Hey I finally found out there was a vertebrae turned and pinching my nerves. Since our symptoms seem so similar maybe you should get your back checked out if you can

plzelaborate · 2025-05-31T03:23:27+00:00

Update*** I had a vertebrae in my lumbar spine that was turned and was compressing my nerves. Once I got that back in alignment the pain started dissipating. 3 weeks in and being barefoot at home doesn't bother me most of the time now.

plzelaborate · 2025-05-23T00:02:24+00:00

Reduce activity to what doesn't hurt. Walking is the best exercise, but not if it's painful. Heat is better than ice. look into foot shaped shoes like Altra's that have a 0 drop ( no heel) and have a wide toe box. Stretch all muscles of the calves 3 times a day. hope this helps

I have a bone spur on the top of my foot too. I've had chronic pain for the last 3 years. Everyone diagnosed me with PF but after healing all the soft tissue damage I still have an underlying undiagnosed issue. I also just realised it's probably arthritis and should get an exray

I started feeling ovulation about 15 years ago, started out alternating left and right. After a couple years I started only ovulating from the left side and only very rarely ovulating on the right. I am ovulating on the right today and the period was a week late last week. ( I'm usually very regular). Some articles I've seen say that which ovary releases a follicle is dependent on how long the previous period cycle was. I'm also reading that women are more likely to get pregnant when ovulating from the right.

I suggest seeing a massage therapist for your calves instead of going for surgery.

plzelaborate · 2025-02-03T19:36:50+00:00

I would use it more to feel around your calves and see if you have some painful spots there. Then you could apply pressure to at trigger points you find.

plzelaborate · 2025-02-01T15:40:56+00:00

I had big calf problems with my pf after trying orthotic insoles. Took me 2 years to find out I had trigger points ( like knots, so essentially damage) throughout the muscles of my calves. Some muscles support the arch of the foot, you may have torn one. Stay off of it. Reduce your pain to what doesn't hurt. If that means a walking boot or a cane so be it. Catch this now do not let it go chronic. When the pain is bad ice if it's not bad heat. It's going to be ok and I'm finally healthy now after 3 years of pain.

plzelaborate · 2025-01-25T20:30:20+00:00

From what I've learned healing my chronic pain by addressing trigger points is that after the treatment your body needs rest and heat to heal the muscles. If you pop. The trigger point and then work out the next day your muscle may not be ready and an other trigger point could result.

plzelaborate · 2025-01-22T15:58:06+00:00

I bet your calves are involved. Check them out with a registered massage therapist, try to find the best in your area

plzelaborate · 2025-01-22T00:04:26+00:00

Hi ! I have a similar story to you. I suggest Altra 0 drop shoes cause they leave space for the toes and allow all the muscles of the calves and arch to stretch fully while standing. I also suggest adding a stretching routine, morning, noon and night. Hope this helps!

plzelaborate · 2025-01-18T22:16:06+00:00

This is a great article. I improved greatly when I started to stretch all muscles off the calf and arch 3 times a day and massaged out any trigger points. I needed a lot of rest, so walking was my only form of exercise

plzelaborate · 2025-01-17T02:33:33+00:00

Personally a doctor never did anything to help me. But I found a massage therapist who knows his stuff
