[quote=Anonymous]By 30 weeks with baby #1 my heels were so swollen I cried at night from the pain. I was told it would go away after I gave birth and it did. With baby #2 the pain was back with a vengeance. I could see the swollen heels and arch. I couldn't move from the pain past 5pm and I did a lot of soaking. It's been a year postpartum now and I'm still in pretty extreme pain.

I'm at a loss for what to do and my crummy insurance (kaiser) isn't helping. I stretch daily. I sleep in a boot most nights (and I do mean "sleep" because between the boot and pain I cant sleep well). I do ball rolling and wear insoles. I no longer can wear my normal suits to work because my sneakers ruin every look. I had to get a doctor note because someone complained to HR about my ugly shoes.  I lost all the baby weight and then some (120lbs). The only thing that even somewhat helped was cortisone shots but those last 2 months tops.

I have trouble walking and feel crippled. I'm in pain and can't work out anymore. Is there any hope of it ever going away? I have a huge fear that my feet are ruined for life and that I'm going to spend the next 60 years in pain. I keep reading the longer you let it go on that it becomes permanent but nothing I do reverses the pain.

Anyone have any experience?[/quote]
