I did a two-mile hike in trail running shoes and while my back is pinging my feet are basically ok, I love my magnet egg. 😭 I might buy two, one for my back and one for my garbage feet.

I did have to stop and rest twice but that is just being sadly out of condition from three years now of being functionally hobbled. I look back and think about how a low exercise day would be two four-mile runs and an hour of yoga, it was a good life. 😰

@ouinne I would love to know more about your magnet egg that cures bad feet?! Mine are Almost Good after five solid years of only wearing Danskos 🤞

@kelliebob it’s this thing, it’s PEMF which sounds like total woo but I’ve had measurable progress using it for six weeks when nothing else has helped, even physical therapy only took the pain from torture to merely excruciating. https://www.oskawellness.com

I think you gave me the foot massage info a while ago, but I think I need to look into this magnetic egg thing. Right now I am having more of an achilles tendon type situation, but it's all part of the p.f. (including torn plantar fascia I had in 2018 or 19 😩 ).

@westerling plantar fasciitis is the worst injury, it is unbelievable how crippling it is until you experience it. 😭

That reminds me I need to run my feet through the pummeler too just to knead the fascia as well. 🤔

@ouinne
Yeah, I tore it morris dancing, but it did respond well to p.t. Still about a year before I could say I felt confident about it again.

If only I could remember to do my stretches all the time, smdh.

@westerling it’s so weird how physical therapy exercises feel like such a burden even though they’re usually things we’d do of our own accord?
