I have figured out how to control my plantar fasciitis, but now my muscles in my knees constantly ache.?

Question

Could it be from the arch supports I have to where. Or is something else just falling apart. Did not have this problem until I got some better shoes and arch supports that help control the plantar fasciitis problem. At first I just figured it was arthritis, but it's the muscles, tendons, ligaments, I don't know, surrounding my kneecap that hurt. Help..........and thank you.

Answer 1

The simple answer is YES! I am not sure where you got the arch supports from, let alone the shoes with arch support from? I went to the Hospital saw a Podiatrist who informed me that I have a 4 degree inward roll on both feet, so they manufactured some temporary insoles to realign the feet. I was told to ONLY wear them for one hour a day and build up until I could wear them all day. Take it from me, ankles, knees and back hurt like hell, but I kept at it. Now I have the opposite problem. If I take the shoes off and walk around in socks or slippers, all Hades breaks out. If you think about it, the spine, hips, knees, ankles and feet take the full body weight. Therefore if the feet have a problem and are out of alignment, you will not noticed until something goes OUCH. It could be years of alignment problems and then one day OUCH. So you correct the alignment problem and now you will spend months, years having to realign ankles, knees, hips and back. I know its not fun, but almost one year down the road I am starting to feel the benefits and it has been worth all the realignment pain.

Answer 2

Rest is the first treatment for plantar fasciitis. Try to keep weight off your foot until the inflammation goes away. You can also apply ice to the sore area for 20 minutes three or four times a day to relieve your symptoms. Often a doctor will prescribe nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen. A program of home exercises to stretch your Achilles tendon and plantar fascia are the mainstay of treating the condition and lessening the chance of recurrence.

Yikes!!!
Planters fasciitis, I remember thee well!!
When I had PF, I too noticed pain in other areas, mostly my hip and my knee. My physician told me that I was subconsciously shifting my weight to relieve pressure on my heel and that caused stress on other muscle groups. Perhaps your new shoes or insoles are causing different muscle groups to work differently than normal.
I really hope you can get some relief from you PF. Mine is finally gone, but I had to have a baby and take 2 months maternity leave to get off my feet long enough for it to heal. Love and Luck to you--MIssDelanne
