2 months post-partum w/c-section. I saw my ob/gyn, my pcp, and an orthopedic assistant. the OA stated that i have a combo of plantar fasciitis, tarsal tunnel, and metatarsalgia in both feet. it's frustrating, incredibly painful. i lost all of my pregnancy weight. i've been icing, resting -- if i can, and taking ibprofen. i had 1 cortizone shot in each ankle and cannot get any more shots unless i get a 2nd opinion. i've bought power step inserts that are painful to wear for too long, but supposedly will help reshape my feet (high-arches). Anyway, i am hoping that i will heal soon since it feels debilitating. not a lot of info is available about this post-partum issue. but i wonder if it is hormonally related as well since i am breastfeeding... Any suggestions?
