No Dancing :-(

So after 4 weeks of having heel pain, my PT finally told me to go get it checked. So today, I went to the podiatrist. She was very nice and told me after pushing on 2 spots on my heel that I do have plantar fascitis and bursitis. Oh great! And just to be safe and make sure that the heel is healthy, she had my left foot x-rayed. Many times, I really wish I didn't have to go to the doctor so I won't keep finding out about what else is wrong with me. So, x-rays show that I have a heel spur as well. So, the course of action for now is either a cortisone shot or oral medication. I have some soft gel inserts and she recommends some orthotics. I'm not sure if I will get the orthotics, as I found out I don't have insurance coverage for them. What's the cost? $1,300.00 for a pair.

Well, for now, I am suppose to wear gym shoes as often as i can (yes, Ron, I know, I know) and she said absolutely no dancing or running or walking (for exercise) yet. She wants the swelling to go down first and then we'll go from there. I hope the pain will ease up soon so I can resume walking :-) In the meantime, I continue to ice, tape, stretch and wear closed shoes. But watch out, I will be dancing again soon!
