Well, I had to go back to walking with crutches. It’s not that I can’t put any weight on my left foot, but I have to control it. Both feet were bothering me. It would have been better if I’d just kept using the crutches while walking instead of going without them because I was limping something awful. It’s as if the crutches are more like canes in how I’m using them now – for support and weight bearing control.

My physical therapist suggested going back to the crutches because of the flareup in pain, severe limping, etc. Plus the excess pressure that has been on my right foot for the last six weeks has been hard. The plantar fasciitis in my right foot has really flared up.
