Femara: Heel pain

[auck_builder]

Hi guys any info or experiences would be great.

would be about 4 years ago now i used Fem at the end of a longish cycle - maybe 1 1/2 off and on with on bit of pct along the way.

I cant remember dose nor time on it but during that time i started getting Heel pain, mainly in the mornings out of bed - after discontinuing i continued to get this pain, and it got allot worse to the point where bare feet and jandals over the next 2 years where not an option, i had MRI, physio (1 year straight), anti inflams (killed my guts), Injection of cortizone and nothing really has ever helped. Over the last year it has imporved with allot of stretching and exercise. It still gives me shit every day esp after a big run but i can manage it.

I take Fermented Cod liver oil and Cold pressed evening primrose now for supplements which may be helping.

any advice to get these back to normal or anything at all would be great. its been hell at times - just glad i can play some sport and be normal again but still would be great to get these to 100% one day.

Gout?

In Heels / Achilles?

Also forgot to add i saw 2 Podiatrist - prob the most bullshit profession in this country. complete waste of money

But yea, im way better than what i was but still not 100% from before it and its been years. But the more years that pass the better it gets

No one has any explanation for it?

This will more than likely be Plantar Fasciiitis / Fasciosus.

Classical morning soreness and stiffness that makes you hobble when first out of bed. Strong link to faulty biomechanics and foot alignment.

Suggest trying www.nzfac.co.nz and ask for advice. They sorted mine out after 6 + months of struggling

Apparently there is a link to estrogen with this and a number of similar issues.

Softening of fascia and ligaments (a study was conducted at the Aussie Institute of Sport on ACL ruptures in women. They found they were significantly more prevalent mid menstrual cycle - suggesting estrogenic link)

Interesting when you developed this - post long cycle - ? estradiol elevated .

Best of luck

Yea i did some research online into Women using Femera for cancer treatment

Googled it and found that ALLOT experience the same thing i did / still am

But why i cant get rid of it is the real issue now.

This reply is the site working at its best. I'm thinking its has not got so much to do with using Femara but as u say MrBH, more like damage to tissue from higher estrogen levels. One reason to use anti-Es on cycle.

yea i agree cheers for the responses.

Check google for Femera Heel Pain

allot do get this same thing i experienced but i guess i have damage long term from it. I have had an MRI of Archillies and heel - everything was normal apart from some fluid around Bursa - Had cortizone into bursa - still the same.

I have also used insets in shoes, new shoes, custom insoles etc ...

best results i have are keeping active, stretching, keeping weight / diet in check, massage, good shoes etc.

Maybe some HGH would clear it up
