    Terrible heel pain

    Glad to hear about your appt! Laurie, Thanks for letting me know how your appt went. I'm encouraged by it, and can't wait for my appt. I went to get cast for orthotics Saturday, but the woman was out of town. I will see her the minute she gets back. Meanwhile, I'm still staying away from...

    Attn:fellow foot pain sufferers & interested parties

    Hi Donna! I'm sorry to hear about your pain! I agree with Betsy...go to the doctor. My pain is always just in my heel or arch. It hasn't traveled. Today, I am totally pain free. I guess I'll pull out my 8 inch step and do two sessions of IMAX tonight. Haha. I'm no where near ready for...

    Terrible heel pain

    RE: Hi Veronica! Hi Everyone! Thanks for all your concern and advice. I've heard about the night splint, and I think it's worth a try. I have untucked the sheets at the bottom of my bed so my feet wouldn't pull funny, but I know as I toss and turn I'm probably messing the foot up. I'm going...

    Val~how r u doing?

    RE: Isn't.... Hi ascubanut! I still have pain in the heel since I stupidly did RS on Nov 6. I have been unable to see my doctor until Nov 19. I have not done any cardio since Nov 6, but I have been doing the PS series( was doing PH and MIS rotation, but swithed now to PS) and continuing to...

    Bodymax

    Good for you! I LOVE Bodymax, but I don't do it very often. I save it for a Saturday morning, and spend the week before psyching myself up for it. I'm wiped out at the end of it, but the high I get from the feeling of accomplishment keeps me going all day! Veronica

    cardio before weights?

    LAST EDITED ON Nov-11-01 AT 08:52PM (Est)[p]Hi, Donna! I'm not Cathe, but I am the gal with the bad feet that you asked about recently. How are you? I did a search, and on July 5, 2000 Cathe said the following when asked about cardio before weights: "We actually had this question come up not...

    Val~how r u doing?

    Thanks for asking! Hi, Donna! Thank you so much for your concern; it couldn't have come at a better time. I am feeling depressed and stupid. I had been icing my foot and stretching it and taking ibuprofen, and it started feeling better. I hadn't done any cardio for several weeks, just ate...

    PH vs. MIS

    Hi, Elizabeth! I love PH...the music is fun and upbeat. I have MIS, too, and enjoy that one as well. Check out the post in the Ask Cathe forum called "CTX series or Power Hour?", because in Cathe's reply, she talks about the difference between PH and MIS, as far as what endurance and strength...

    Cathe: No cardio for a while

    Thanks everyone! Everyone on this forum is so helpful! I always get lots of great suggestions. This whole experience has been an eye opener! Prior to this experience, I did cardio 4 or 5 times a week, and weight work for each body part once or twice a week. Not trying to lose weight, just...

    Cathe: No cardio for a while

    RE: What did the doctor say? Hi Lorrayne! I have plantar's faciitis. I wanted to see an ortho or a podiatrist, but the nurse practitioner wouldn't give me a referral. So, I will ice, rest, and take ibuprofen for a week, then, if not better, I'll go back and fuss at them until I get a...

    Cathe: No cardio for a while

    Wow! That's incredible! I can't tell you how happy I am to hear your success story...it gives me great hope! This convinces me of what I already knew but chose to ignore...exercise alone won't get us where we want to be. I've really cleaned up my eating, because before, I felt I could justify...

    Terrible heel pain

    RE: HMOs No xrays. I did call the insurance company and they said I could protest. So I will give it one week and go back. But, in the meantime, I will take good care of it so it won't get worse. But I wanna work out so badly! This whole thing is teaching me patience. I don't want to start...

    Terrible heel pain

    HMOs Thanks Geno, and to all who posted! I went to my doctor to get a referral to either an orthopdist or a podiatrist. The nurse practitioner saw me, and would NOT give me a referral. She said they would tell me the same thing she is telling me...rest and ice and ibuprofen. I said that I...

    Terrible heel pain

    Laurie... It's good to hear that high impact might not be out of the question at some point in time. I can always modify the Cathe tapes, but gosh, I get so "into" them that I leap and hop and jog like a madwoman! :) Veronica

    Cathe: No cardio for a while

    RE: you can do other cardio right? I don't belong to a gym, and really hoped not to have to join one. The at-home workouts work best for me, as I can workout around my work schedule.( I used the word "work" a lot in that sentence. Where's my thesaurus?) The gyms near me are packed right after...

    Terrible heel pain

    Thanks, Laurie! I have a doctor's appt today, and will get her to refer me to either a podiatrist or an orthopedic dr. I'm glad to hear your PF is doing better...gives me hope that someday I'll be doing Cathe cardio videos again. I not only miss the calorie burning, but I miss the endorphin...
