If you want to use this QR code (Quick Response code) just save the image and paste it where you want. You can even print it and use it that way. Coffee cups, T-Shirts etc would all be good for the QR code.

does anyone else feel their plantar fascia "tear" when they stretch their feet if they are especially bad? or has anyone developed tendonitis of the tendon on the top of their big toe where stretching the toes (other 4 down, big one up especially against the resistance of a shoe or sock) made the tendonitis worse?
erica, your mention of stretching the feet, reminded me of these things. i have to be careful about stretching when things are inflamed. anyone else?

Yes! I really mean it when I say "very gently" and "slowly" stretch.  If I stretch too fast the least I get is a cramp, and the worst is a tear. Grrrr...

 when i was growing up, i get bucked off horses (ok, ponies!), jumped out of trees, fell off my bike, and never a broken bone, sprained ankle, nothing! now i can't even stretch without hurting myself!    maybe its because i was so indestructible through my 20s that i just have a hard time at holding back. like i could go in the pool and just walk around, but i know once i'm in there, i want to do laps, so i just stopped going and switched to walking, cause i just know myself. not like i abuse myself or anything! but i also don't go out of my way to be careful. i just like to be able to live my life and not have to be constantly thinking about my body. maybe on the right drug i can achieve that, or maybe i just need to learn that we're all getting older and need to adjust!
