I know what you mean about frustrated. As far as swimming I do the modified lazy gal's version of the breast stroke. I alternate the way I kick and just paddle along. Or I use a kick board and just go at my own pace. The great thing is that most of the people swimming are older folks, which is different from the other pool out west I went to. At that time there was a lot of tri peeps getting their swim portion in and it was like trying to swim in a stormy sea! So I do that for 30 min. It's not much but it's getting me moving.
My foot just feels like it needs my ankle cracked. But I can't seem to stretch it to crack. Sometimes it does and it cracks but most of the time it doesn't.
I also started wearing my orthotics all the time. It seems to help. I went to the mall last night and walked and walked and I was ok. If it was with the other orthotics I had, I would of been limping by the time I left.
PT wasn't helping anymore. I found my PT wanted to do more exercising than soft tissue massage and it was aggrevating it. I really think it was the heel dipping calf raises that did it. So I won't be doing those any time soon.
I am going to set a goal this week to get to a Pilates class. I figured most of it is on the floor so it won't bother my feet.
Sigh...better daysHope you get better soon! I'm just afraid going into the colder weather injured will make me not want to try and adjust to riding in the cold. That would be worse, last year I didn't ride at all during the winter and it really hurt me coming back into the spring.
