      Those sneakers/running shoes. I have paid much attention on the sole. Still need get few pairs for trials and errors.

      Seems only i have the heal problem arh...heel issues only happened to smalller group of people? I take quite good care of my feet..stopped wearing high heels as early as possible, soft sole etc but still get it. Thought I m almost 'cured' through fasting till I changed the shoes last evening..extra pain at night and whenever I get up today. Later I will walk again..use my previous pairs of shoes see if it gets worse.
      Do you still do the exercises? That really helps me - just a little stretching every morning. I have been using sneakers and sandals from Bata's Comfit range and all is well.

        Didnt do it consistently coz thought it was almost healed. Btw, I read that another youtuber ‘doctor’ says we shouldn’t stretch our feet the opposite way ie pulling the tip of our feet towards our face. So only when I feel the pain when sitting down then I stretch for a little.

          My feet seems problematic. I just bought another pair of shoes A before opening a new pair of shoes B to try on yesterday. I felt some pain at heel after walking with B. Now I need to get another pair shoes same as A but a size bigger and different color to try.

          I m trying to get a pair of shoes that is comfy enough after wearing thicker socks and can manage my heel pain. I been walking at least 4km perday not that much compared to those targeting 10/15k per day. Scary to think of the pain I had past 2 years after walking
          Hv u get medical advice? S’times might need to get some physical investigations - X-rays or scams to see if there is any underlying problems. Afterall, u’ve been making other efforts to diet, etc. Maybe u might want to relent & do some targeted exercises?

            I'm not sure who this 'doctor' is, and I think you also have doubts since you use inverted commas. I followed simple stretching which was advised on reputable websites, including the one that this person advised against, and it has worked for me. I can't remember how long ago the pain started, and when I started stretching, but it's been years now.

            I'm not sure there is \"healing\" as such, in that the pain goes away and never comes back. If it's plantar fasciitis, it's due to the tightness of the ligaments and muscles, and I expect that it will keep recurring as long as the activity that caused it continues. Age is another factor. I have found that regular stretching keeps it at bay, and when I've been lazy, it comes back.

              On an unrelated note, have any mommies here gone on HRT?


              The western view is that it can be very beneficial for some women, in keeping energies up and all.

              Happy to hear experiences.

                Few mths after I had the pain… I went to see a doc and was told it is likely plantar fasciitis…then I stopped… no following up. I googled and it is very likely plantar. My mom has it but she recovered fully after like 2 or 3 years. Mine looks like will take longer. I m kind of looking forward to having same condition as my mom and one day it will go off.

                  Looks like I need put effort in the stretching..

                    Will doctors encourage us to take? Or when eg we see our mood go haywire then we consider to take? Sorry for asking qns instead.

                      You may wanna drop by KKH website or in-person to find out more (local Asian view?) They have just (this very month) started a Menopause Centre - I saw it on the Ch8 news & got interested (am experiencing unusually heavy periods & was wondering if it’s peri-menopause).

                        Zac's mum, please take care and rest well. My experience was the period interval was shorten to 22 to 24 days with heavy flow before. It made me so tired and frustrated at that time. Later I went to TCM and the lady doctor said my liver was heated up and couldn't control my blood so my blood released out in the period. After taking some herbs to clear liver heat, the flow became back to normal. You may consult doctor at KK hospital and see what they say first.
