It didn't go away on its
It didn't go away on its own. It took months.
The pain started to get extreme after taking antibiotics (for rosacea, no less; how vain of me?) for two weeks. Not only did the PF get so bad after taking the antibiotics that every step I took felt like the tissue was separating from the bone in my right foot, but I also had pain that started at my left wrist and traveled through my arm and into my chest. It got so bad, I couldn't type on the keyboard (as many of you remember, I started using voice recognition software). The strangest thing was that while I was laid up in bed those weeks, I developed a strong case of Achilles Tendonitis. Now how does someone get AT from lying around in bed for weeks?
The MRI didn't show any ruptures or tears in my feet, so the doctor said it must be just strong inflammation.
After stopping the antibiotics, I started to improve. Then I started taking prescribed anti-inflammatories, and that put out a great deal of the pain, but the PF was still present, and the sunburn on the bottom of my inner arch was there.
Only after taking high-dose "refrigerated" probiotics for about three to fours months did it finally go away.
Now that I had these surgeries and had to take antibiotics again, I feel the sunburn feeling on the bottom of my arch (same place) again, and I'm having pain in my left wrist.
I've been taking probiotics through this, but apparently the antibiotics are stronger. Now that I have stopped taking the antibiotics, I hope that the probiotics will be able to correct the damage done.
What's unusual is that the antibiotics I took (both times) are not quinolone/floroquinoline antibiotics, the ones known for causing tendon/fascia ruptures and tears. Google "quinolone/floroquinoline tendon rupture." Everything I have read says that runners should not take quinolone/floroquinolines due to the risk of increased tendon/fascia ruptures.
These were tetracyclines, but apparently, I don't tolerate them well. It's like a car without oil. The antibiotics strip me of my oil. The probiotics add the oil back.
If you can avoid quinolone/floroquinoline antibiotics, do so. And only take antibiotics if you have a serious reason to do so. If it weren't for having these surgeries, I wouldn't have taken them again.
EDIT:
I should add, that I can understand why I could be getting PF right now. I mean, as I'm walking around (not much) putting more weight on the backs of my feet at the heels than the front, since I can't put weight on the balls of my feet, but it's the sunburn feeling on the inside of my feet at the inner arch that concerns me, again, about this round of antibiotics.
