    Default Foot Problems?

    Have any of you had them?

    I've done ballet and stripped for a total of 15 years, and last time I got a massage the therapist said I have bone spurs and should stretch my achilles tendon every day. Six months later, I have pain along the outside portion of the sole of my right foot, and although it's not unbearable, it definitely gives me a limp, and it's visibly inflamed. I'm sort of worried about plantar fascilitis.

    I guess I just want to hear your experiences and how they're affected your job.

    I've broken my ankle multiple times - 2-3 times from ballet & other forms of dancing (5 total)... same ankle & always on the growth plate. One of my legs is a wee bit shorter according to the doctor - but I don't notice it & neither do my customers. Very rarely I have back pain... which the doctor has said is because the difference in my leg length causes my hips to always be at a slight tilt & puts a bit of pressure on my back.

    I did have paranoia about my feet for years. After doing point & then moving to stripping I always though my feet were ugly. They really aren't, but it was all those years of taping them up & stuffing them into lambs wool & such that I just was used to seeing them being a mess.

    I've had plantar fasciitis and heel spurs. I was a competitive distance runner for a long time and dancing in heels did not help.
    I started wearing shoes that helped with stability (there are different shoes for different gates) and shoes with an arch. That did help but the best thing so far are the barefoot running shoes (called "Vibram Five Fingers", I also posted a thread on SW about them). I only have pain in my plantar tendon now when I get very little sleep and my body is physically tired.
