Re: Play doctor, F!S

[(Anonymous)]

So,

I have tendinitis in my feet. It comes and goes, but since my commute is so much longer this year it has gotten worse. And I can't afford physical therapy right now. So any suggestions for stretches or whatnot I can do or anything I can do to stop making it worse would be awesome.

NOT stretches. Tendonitis should be treated with ice and anti-inflammatories.

Ibuprofen. Ibuprofen is the most miraculous drug ever invented. (It was recced to me by my GP for unrelated issues, and it made my arthritis seem like it didn't even exist). Naproxen, if it's too far gone for ibuprofen.

Sadly i used ibuprofen for tenditis and it made no difference for me. IF it works, I do agree it's great though because it's relatively cheap and low on side effects.

Is Naproxen over the counter?

Re: Play doctor, F!S

Naproxen is the Ibuprofen alternative. The brand name is Aleve. It is somewhat stronger and you take it less often. However, for many people only one of the two works. In my case, Ibuprofen works and Naproxen doesn't. So if Ibuprofen doesn't work for you, maybe Naproxen will.

I'll try. Most painkillers have reduced effect on me, but I need the anti-inflammatory part of it more than he actual painkiller part.

On the shelf, in Canada. Old Arthur ain't tormenting me so bad that I need naproxen (yet), though. Tbf, I only started taking ibuprofen recently, so maybe I'll build up a tolerance, IDK.

Re: Play doctor, F!S

[kallanda_lee]

I have tolerances for Aspirin, paracetamol, ibuprofen...the lot, really. I'll give naxopren a go, though.

As someone with chronic tendinitis in my feet myself the best advice I can offer you is to stretch your foot back a lot. Don't just stand on a step and press your toes against the top while your heels sink below -- that's a good intensive exercise, but you can't do it all the time. I've gotten in the habit of pulling my foot back regularly, or propping them against my desk. The number one thing you should do though is make sure you do not sleep on your stomach or half-side in a manner that your foot is flattened out with the top of your foot against the mattress. That's a good way to make your problem worse; I used to sleep in that position for years (it's comfy!) but now I sleep entirely on my side.

Re: Play doctor, F!S

I didn't know that about sleeping positions. Unfortunately, those are the only two positions I can sleep in. If I sleep fully on my side, my hip hurts and then sometimes goes numb. And I can't fall asleep on my back.

Re: Play doctor, F!S

Tuck something under your foot, then (especially if you have one that's typically worse than the other.) Nothing too high, you just want to keep it from being too flat.
