Sorry you are still suffering with heel. I think you would feel better if you can get out and walk. Have you thought about possibly doing volunteer phone work, like checking on elderly. n😷🙏🤗

I have an HMO so will need to get a referral from my primary care physician for a podiatrist. I have an appointment for Oct 1st with my PCP and will get a referral then. Volunteer work is a possibility thank you for the suggestion. I have trouble focusing and staying out of bed when the depression hits hard. Something to keep me busy would be helpful. I have a job I work out of my home now, so that keeps me going sometimes.

I hope you are taking the 70lbs loss as a victory. Let that be a small weapon against depression. You seem so lovely. Depression sucks. How eloquent of me, eh?

Foot pain sucks! I injured my foot at the start of COVID and am having a hard time finding replacements for my usual physical activity. Biking, short walks, and floor exercises are helping me keep my sanity. My doctor also gave me a strong anti-inflammatory to help with bad days. Hope you know you aren't alone!

Great job on your 70lb loss that is a big accomplishment! 🎉👍 For your heel pain try applying ice to the heel for 10 to 15 minutes twice a day. Also a good insole always helps for heel & foot pain. Good luck on your healthy lifestyle journey!! Feel better & stay safe! 🍀👍🌻😊😷

My wife is having similar foot pain & the Dr suggested to ice 🧊 the feet in a bucket. Complete merge up to the ankle. Biggest reason for the pain, large calcium deposits.

I definitely understand depression I went through it a few years ago and believe me it wasn't at all pretty I was crying for no reason at all and thinking all kinds of bad thoughts so one night I remember it was very cold outside and snow was on the ground I went outside and threw my hands up and said I give it all to you Lord and I kept praying and I love music so it was a comfort to me and like a few months later I suddenly felt better I'm not saying I don't have anxiety but I'm not at all like I use to be I have found ways to have less stress in my life and I believe you can make it through it as well just take it one day at a time and remember don't worry about the things you can't control have a blessed day
