I was 180 when I got out of the army...and looked like a skeleton. 

Maybe not quite that boney. Actually, that's my perfect weight.

what are you, 8'3"?

 At 180 I'd look like a skeleton...

This morning on the scale I saw the south side of 180 for the first time in memory.

 A prime example of your point - you're right - I never use lemon either.

Lemon with tequila? That shirt has no credibility.

Good advice winter.  It's very often helpful to hear other people's experiences here but also good to remember it's not a substitute for seeing a professional.

Ask him. And ask another PT if you can. But unless there's a lot more PTs or MDs here on the boards than I suspect, I'd take the opinions given here with a grain of salt.

I wasn't referring to anyone in particular. I'm just saying that

a) the opinions of our friends on medical issues are perhaps less valuable than the opinions of actual medical professionals 

b) listen to your body, but don't trust it. This is the same body that tells you "sugar and fat - yum!" and "more nicotine, please".  

This is the funniest photo in history.

So, I've been going to PT for 5 weeks (plantar fasciitis). 

He does a little ultrasound and a brief massage on my heels,  then gives me a dose of cortisone.  Last week he taped my arches for the first time.  (I had to take the tape off after 3 days, because I developed a rash (it's supposed to stay on for 4-5 days)).

I've done everything right.  Swimming and biking to keep up some fitness routine, and stretching and icing the injured area.  There has been progress... but the past 2 weeks I've plateaued.

Is there any point to continuing PT?  Should I find someone else?  I feel SICK about the money I'm spending.

I remember being told to always preface your medical statements with.... it has been my experience or some have said etc.

I spend too much time with lawyers. ...lol.

Maybe this is not the same thing but I was having some acupuncture done by a Chinese doctor  when I mentioned a spur in my heel.  He zapped it; it hurt like hell and has been gone ever since which would be about fifteen years. 

note: not all acupuncturist are equal
