Sorry been absent-my foot has been nothing but a headache. Last month we got locked out from work-so I didn't go to the gym during the later month of May. The foot was rested most of the time. They shut off our insurance so I didn't get to a doctor. The week we went back to work I attempted to get it looked at but I didn't have insurance until Wed. I got looked at Thursday-they said it was overuse injury-no breaks in the foot. It was hurting something fierce. It bothers me at night-can't lay a certain way without it throbbing.
I have attempted to take short walks around the building/yard to keep the muscles in shape but I usually just hobble along.
I have only done PT type exercises and arm exercises during the day. I miss doing pushups but I can't bend my foot that way. the pain moved from the big toe to the right side of foot on top. I tried the elliptical machine a few times and it just made it throb even more. So looks like no running for me when it heals unless I can loose the weight. Which really annoys the hell out of me. I miss the sweaty fun from the gym. I was told to go anyways and do arms but me if I can't have a piece of the pie I don't want any of it. Bah humbug!
I planned to go back to the gym Monday but I don't know if I should continue to rest it. Gasp I even sit in a chair most of the day at work-which is NOT like me. I normally stay standing or pace or move around-I feel like an old person and it's annoying but the pain is not fun-so I am trying to resign myself to a slower pace. Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. I hope to at least post once a week. I miss working out and HATE my foot! One of my friends from work jokenly said "Shoot it off!" and I just rolled my eyes! LOL. Believe me-I would love to find a cure to overuse injury but it's going to take TIME. Guess nothing I can do about it, huh?!
