My ED (12) has this after having plantar fasciitis. She originally hurt her heel in March this year, with various diagnosis (its a break - rest it or its a sprain - move it) ending in the right person being there at the right time to diagnose RSD. She is much better i.e no longer uses crutches. But she still can't walk properly on her foot; hasn't been able to join in with game etc. (sure that's no real loss to her, but its an important part of school). I've been having a bit of a look on the internet, especially ARC who I look at about my YD who has JIA (Juvenile Idiopathic arthritis), but as with JIA, some of the diagnosis is scary. She has another appointment in a few weeks which I am considering getting her pain medication changed (she's currently on diclaphenac 1 tablet 3 times a day).

So really what I am asking if anyone has had this, or known anyone to have this, and if having nerve suppressing injections did it help, and if so,for how long? And really, if anyone has any suggestions on how best to help her get moving again.

I have nothing to offer I'm afraid Bluekarin, but I just wanted to say that I'm sorry to hear about your daughters. What a worry for you! I hope someone here will have first-hand experience and be able to offer you something at least.

I had that some years back when I was overdoing it with the exercise. My osteopath cured it in one visit... after much faffing around by the dcotors.

what did your osteopath do?

I had spur heel - plantar fasciitis

 

He mainpulated the foot, then strapped it up. I took the strapping off after 2 days and it was gone!

All I can offer is sympathy and some empathy for the foot pain, and a suggestion to consider shoes that do you good or help prevent the problem re-occuring. Some are rather expensive but you only get one pair of feet for life...

Thats what they think she had originally, well, after the original original injury and it has now developed into this RSD. I've emailed our local osteopath to see if they can help so I shall report back. I'd not even thought of osteopathy so thank you

 

Jimnpaula - thank you for that link. I've had a brief look. I think the incline of the shoes you refer to would be too much pressure on her heel. It hurts to touch or put any weight on it. She has a silicone gel insert to go into her school shoes which helps as it dulls the impact.

let me know if you don't have any luck with your local osteopath - I can ask Hector if he knows of anyone down your way.

 

TBH I always go to him now with any sporting injuries or back problems.

A mate of mine has that, it is the second time he has had it.

The first time he had cortisone injections but this time has flatly refused to have them.

 

He said it was extremely painful and didn't wish to go there again. He might be just a big wuss though.

 

He reckons Gel insoles really help.
