    This was helpful, so I must have heel pad inflammation as the position on my toes relieves me. I have walked with barefoot shoes (for my bunions) and added gel heel pads but my heels are still sore hours after I got home. It's tricky because I like the wide toe box, but the too thin sole doesn't work for me, being 10 kg overweight, and walking on concrete.

    Will heel fat pad syndrome ever settle down based on your experience with patients and your opinion? I have it in both heels since November last year. Extremely severe, can't walk for more than few minutes, walking is never pain free and it tends to hurt even when resting. MRI showed inflammation and oedema in fat pad under the calcaneus in both heels, and slight fat pad atrophy in my left heel. I'm never barefoot, moving around the house in cushioned footwear and spending most of the days sitting and laying down. Also doing every day icing, some PT exercises, etc. My doctors ruled out plantar fasciitis. I'm in my mid-twenties and this thing turned my life upside down and no improvement is in sight.. I'm very desperate.

    Hi mate, I'm really sorry to hear what you are going through! I am going through it as well since Oct 2022. I can tell you from experience that it can settle down, especially at your age but can take 6 months to do it - and the only way for it to settle is for you to completely NOT bare weight on you heel. I've had it now 4 times in my left heel and for me it was "easy" to not weight bear as I just walked around on my tip toes on one foot... for 6 months. For you, it sounds like the recovery is going to suck even more - but unfortunately you are just going to have to do what you are going to have to do. I can also say from experience, that it doesn't feel 100% until you start using it again, and here lies a problem, how do you know when you can start using it again? Short answer is you don't. I recommend for you - go something like 2-3 months of completely no weight bearing and then try use them again. If the pain doesn't pretty much immediately resolve within a day or 2, then unfortunately its too early and you need more time off your feet (I've found that upon use again at the right point the pain resolves almost immediately) - go another 2 weeks to a month and try again - the worst thing you can do is keep using it as then it will never get better!! Personally, I wouldn't worry about things like ice and anti-inflammatories but any cardio exercise you can do - especially if it involves your legs (you may be able to ride for example) should help as it will get your blood pumping and help with the healing process. The number one thing you can do though is just not use them. For background - I'm an ex professional aggressive inline skater and mine was from impact from skating (except for my latest one which has happened 14 years after my last and is from carrying heavy weights in crossfit). I'm also a final year medical student - although none of this is medical advice of course - currently taking a break from studies... because I'm unable to walk properly! Hope you get better soon mate. PS: Oh I find compression socks are super helpful as well as they help with blood flow and clearing the excess inflammation.

  • @jameshandysam
    @jameshandysam Жыл бұрын

    Just an update on the compression socks I mentioned above. I've found out they they have to be fairly weak compression socks otherwise they squeeze too tightly and probably cause more problems. You want very gentle compression to aid with blood flow and help shift some of the inflammation but not so compressed that its squeezing the damaged area tight. I just bought some new compression socks for mine that looked really good but they were too tight unfortunately :( Anyways hope you are getting better :)

Since writing my first response I cooked my other fat pad from over use and was in your position of having 2 cooked fat pads - tip toeing everywhere on both feet and wearing 2 moonboots just to sit in a chair 🙄 Ps: I also worked out that nicotine is very very very bad for this. I don't know if you smoke/vape but if you do chances are it's not gonna get better unless you stop. That's because you have very tiny blood vessels going to the fat pad (which is one of the reasons they heal so slowly anyways) and then vasoconstriction from nicotine basically occluded these blood vessels and over time may even make them disappear (no point having a blood vessel thar doesn't do anything!). How is your recovery coming along?

  • @primehealthco_

    What I usually recommend for my patients is to check if there are any modifications that they can make to their equipment - fresh overgrip, change strings and adjust the tension and possibly a racquet change if this issue keeps occurring. Technique is also important so if you've had a coach or tennis pro check your technique to rule out any major technique errors then you're on the right track. Return to play slowly, start off with a short session with a partner maybe 15-30 mins and then watch for any increased pain the following day. If there's no increase in pain then have another short session 1-2 days later. Repeat this for a week and then increase your hitting time each session, again watching for any increase in elbow pain. Rule of thumb is if there's no pain the day after a session then you know that you haven't over done it.

For now i have noticed that taking my racket up higher when preparing for a swing helps a great deal because i can generate the power with my rotation and body and not just the elbow/forearm pronation to generate the spin/swing ive always used when i was younger.

    Great comment 😊 This technique definitely works and we sometimes prescribe it to help manage the pain. It can also be done with a frozen plastic water bottle if someone finds that they respond well to icing an injury - although not everyone will respond well to this. However, you still need to address the biomechanical issue that caused you to land up with plantar fasciitis in the first place. If there is a significant weakness of the foot flexor muscles (not able to produce a force equal or above 7-10% of body weight) then more load is being absorbed by the plantar fascia instead which can irritate the tissue.

You might also find that because you're unable to put weight on the balls of your foot or toe off due to the injury that more weight is being put on your heels and possibly irritating the calcaneal fat pad. Definitely get the sciatic nerve injury assessed because significant weakness of the calf should not be ignored

    Thanks for covering this topic. I've had PF (possibly heel pad syndrome too) since March 28, 2021, and it's Feb 10, 2022 now. Trust me -- it's a very painful condition. And, it's hard to heal. I went to one Podiatrist and she got it better, because I might have had micro-break or stress-fractures. And, a walking boot got it better. But, then, still after 45 PT visits -- got much better, but not healed. HOwever, I got a new podiatrist (not same one), because she dropped off my BCBS insurance -- so had to get another. And, he suggested better footwear and a footwear insert. My gosh -- almost immediately, only few days later most of my nerve pain at end of day (which was hell to ignore as you go to sleep, like a pinched nerve) is almost gone. Then, today, was first time that I ever had Crocs in the shower (my idea), and damned, that's even better for my left foot with PF. So, I finally seeing COMPLETE HEALING as a possibility. No more worries and fearful tears (private ones) that this would never go away. I think that I can get it under control now. Worst, long-term ailment that I have ever had.

    You're welcome 😊 These exercises can be done as part of a preventative program to help strengthen the foot and maintain good foot biomechanics. Or they can be used to rehabilitate the foot when someone already has Plantar fasciitis. We would generally have someone doing these exercises daily when they already have PF as we want to see strength gains in the intrinsic foot muscles as soon as possible. As a preventative program, they could be done 2-3 x weekly.
