Hi Gabrielle,

Thank you very much for your response!! I definitely agree with you. That was my initial thought when the pain in my left foot began.
When my right foot was healing from the fracture I basically did a version of the sun salutations (not sure if that is the right phrase) on my knees instead of standing. Then I used an exercise ball to get a core work out. Other than that I sat all day. If I did walk I was in a boot to help the healing process. The only problem is I didn’t go to a doctor right away because I did not realize how bad the injury was. Once I did go to the doctor she told me I could still waitress with the fracture. So it was about a month and 1/2 before I realized the pain was too much to work on. I think that is why it took 5 months to heal and also what may have contributed to the tendonitis in the right foot.
At the moment my right foot feels great. The tendonitis though hurts a lot today. It is okay on the days I don’t have to work but the more double shifts I have the worse it gets. I just don’t know what to do because the doctor tells me I can work with it if I wear a brace but it’s not getting better and I am afraid it never will if I don’t take some time off. But I just got this job and cannot afford to take any more time off.
Are there any poses or stretches that could possibly help?
Thank you so much for your time and any advice!!
I so appreciate it!!
