4 Proposition I The triumph of civilisation lacks nothing. Neither political terror nor affective poverty. Nor universal sterility. The desert cannot grow anymore: it is everywhere. But it can still deepen. Faced with the evidence of the catastrophe, there are those who get indignant and those who take note, those who denounce and those who get organised. We are among those who get organised.
5 Scholium This is a call. That is to say it aims at those who can hear it. The question is not to demonstrate, to argue, to convince. We will go straight to the evident. The evident is not primarily a matter of logic or reasoning. It attaches to the sensible, to worlds. There is an evident to every world. The evident is what is held in common or what sets apart. After which communication becomes possible again, communication which is no longer presupposed, which is to be built. And this network of evidents that constitute us, we have been taught so well to doubt it, to avoid it, to conceal it, to keep it to ourselves. We have been so well taught, that we cannot find the words when we want to shout. As for the reigning order, everyone knows what it consists in: that a dying social system has no other justification to its arbitrary nature but its absurd determination its senile determination to simply linger on; that the police, global or national, have got a free hand to get rid of those who do not toe the line; that civilisation, wounded in its heart, no longer
6 encounters anything but its own limits in the endless war it has begun; that this headlong flight, already almost a century old, produces nothing but a series of increasingly frequent disasters; that the mass of humans deal with this order of things by means of lies, cynicism, brutalisation or medication; these things no one can claim to ignore. And the sport that consists in endlessly describing the present disaster, with a varying degree of complaisance, is just another way of saying: that s the way it is ; the prize of infamy going to the journalists, to all those who pretend to rediscover every morning the misery and corruption they noticed the day before. But what is most striking, for the time being, is not the arrogance of empire, but rather the weakness of the counter-attack. Like a colossal paralysis. A mass paralysis. Which will sometimes say when it still speaks that there is nothing to do, sometimes concede when pushed to its limit that there is so much to do. Which is to say the same thing. Then, on the fringe of this paralysis, there is the something, anything, has to be done of the activists. Seattle, Prague, Genoa, the struggle against gm or the
7 movements of the unemployed, we have played our part, we have taken sides in the struggles of these last years; and certainly not the side of attac or the Tute Bianche. The folklore of protests no longer entertains us. In the last decade, we have seen the dull monologue of Marxism-Leninism regurgitate from still juvenile mouths. We have seen the purest anarchism negate also what it cannot comprehend. We have seen the most tedious economism that of Le Monde Diplomatique becoming the new popular religion. And Negriism imposing itself as the only alternative to the intellectual rout of the global left. Leftist militantism has everywhere gone back to raising its tottering constructions, its depressive networks, until exhaustion. It took no more than three years for the cops, unions, and other informal bureaucracies to dismantle the short-lived anti-globalisation movement. To control it. To divide it into separate areas of struggle, each as profitable as it is sterile. In these times, from Davos to Porto Alegre, from the medef to the cnt, capitalism and anti-capitalism describe the same absent horizon. The same truncated prospect of managing the disaster.
8 What eventually opposes this prevailing desolation is merely another desolation, just one that is not as wellstocked. Everywhere there is the same idiotic idea of happiness. The same games of power that are paralysed with fear. The same disarming superficiality. The same emotional illiteracy. The same desert. We say that these times are a desert, and that this desert incessantly deepens. This is no poetic device, it is evident. An evident which harbours many others. Notably the rupture with all that protests, all that denounces, and all that glosses over the disaster. Whoever denounces exempts themselves. Everything appears as if leftists were accumulating reasons to revolt the same way a manager accumulates the means to dominate. That is to say with the same delight. The desert is the progressive depopulation of world s the habit we have adopted to live as if we were not of this world. The desert is present in the continuous, massive and programmed proletarianisation of populations, just as it is present in the suburban sprawl of Florida, where the misery lies precisely in the fact that no one seems to feel it. That the desert of our time is not perceived only makes it harsher.
9 Some have tried to name the desert. To point out what has to be fought not as the action of a foreign agent but as a sum of relations. They talked about spectacle, biopower or empire. But this also added to the current confusion. The spectacle is not an easy abbreviation for the massmedia. It lies as much in the cruelty with which everything endlessly throws us back to our own image. Biopower is not a synonym for social security, the welfare state or the pharmaceutical industry, but it pleasantly lodges itself in the care that we take of our pretty bodies, in a certain physical estrangement to oneself as well as to others. Empire is not some kind of extraterrestrial entity, a worldwide conspiracy of governments, financial networks, technocrats, and multinational corporations. Empire is everywhere nothing is happening. Everywhere things are working. Wherever the normal situation prevails. By dint of seeing the enemy as a subject that faces us instead of feeling it as a relationship that holds us we confine ourselves to the struggle against confinement. We reproduce under the pretext of an alternative the worst kind of dominant relationships. We start selling as a commodity the very struggle against the commodity. Hence we get the authorities of the
10 anti-authoritarian struggle, chauvinist feminism, and anti-fascist lynchings. At every moment we are taking part in a situation. Within a situation there are no subjects and objects I and the other, my desires and reality only a sum of relationships, a sum of the flows that traverse it. There is a general context capitalism, civilisation, empire, call it what you wish that not only intends to control each situation but, even worse, tries to make sure that there is, as often as possible, no situation. The streets and the houses, the language and the affects, and the worldwide tempo that sets the pace of it all, have been adjusted for that purpose only. Worlds are everywhere calibrated to slide by or ignore each other. The normal situation is this absence of situation. To get organised means: to start from the situation and not dismiss it. To take sides within it. Weaving the necessary material, affective and political solidarities. This is what any strike does in any office, in any factory. This is what any gang does. Any revolutionary or counter-revolutionary party. To get organised means: to give substance to the situation. Making it real, tangible. Reality is not capitalist. The position within a situation determines the need to forge alliances, and for that purpose to establish
11 some lines of communication, some wider circulation. In turn those new links reconfigure the situation. The name we give to the situation that we are in is world civil war. For there is no longer anything that can limit the confrontation between the opposing forces. Not even law, which comes into play as one more form of the generalised confrontation. The we that speaks here is not a delimitable, isolated we, the we of a group. It is the we of a position. In these times this position is asserted as a double secession: secession first with the process of capitalist valorisation; then secession with all the sterility entailed by a mere opposition to empire, extra-parliamentary or otherwise; thus a secession with the left. Here secession means less a practical refusal to communicate than a disposition to forms of communication so intense that, when put into practice, they snatch from the enemy most of its force. To put it briefly, such a position refers to the force of irruption of the Black Panthers and the collective canteens of the German Autonomen, to the tree houses and art of sabotage of the British neo-luddites, to the careful choice of words of the radical feminists, to the mass self-reductions of the Italian autonomists, and the armed joy of the June 2nd Movement. From now on all friendship is political. 10
14 Proposition II The unlimited escalation of control is a hopeless response to the predictable breakdowns of the system. Nothing that is expressed in the known distribution of political identities is able to lead beyond the disaster. Therefore, we begin by withdrawing from them. We contest nothing, we demand nothing. We constitute ourselves as a force, as a material force, as an autonomous material force within the world civil war. This call sets out the conditions.
15 Scholium Here a new weapon of crowd dispersal, a kind of fragmentation grenade made of wood, is being subjected to live field tests. Meanwhile in Oregon demonstrators blocking traffic face sentences of twenty-five years imprisonment. In the field of urban pacification the Israeli army is becoming the most prominent consultant. Experts from all over the world rush to marvel at the latest, most formidable and subtle findings in anti-subversive technology. It would appear that the art of wounding wounding one to scare a hundred has reached untold summits. And then there is terrorism. That is to say, according to the European Commission: any offence committed intentionally by an individual or a group against one or several countries, their institutions or their populations, and aiming at threatening them and seriously undermining or destroying the political, economic or social structures of a country. In the United States there are more prisoners than farmers. As it is reorganised and progressively recaptured, public space is covered with cameras. Not only is any surveillance now possible, it has become acceptable. All sorts of lists of suspects circulate from department to department, and we can scarcely 14
16 guess their probable uses. The social space once traversed by flâneurs is now militarily marked and sealed, and its ties of chatter and gossip have been transformed into recriminate whispers, the substance of new micro-legal constraints. In the uk the Anti Social Behaviour Orders have turned the most petty disputes among neighbours into personally tailored edicts of exile, banishing a marked individual from a street corner or proscribing the wearing of hooded tops within a specific zone. Meanwhile the Metropolitan Police, working with members of the special forces, pursue their campaign against terror with a series of mistaken shootings. A former head of the cia, one of those people who, on the opposing side, get organised rather than get indignant, writes in Le Monde: More than a war against terrorism, what is at stake is the extension of democracy to the parts of the [Arab and Muslim] world that threaten liberal civilisation. For the construction and the defence of which we have worked throughout the 20th century, during the First, and then the Second World War, followed by the Cold War or Third World War. Nothing in this shocks us; nothing catches us unawares or radically alters our feeling towards life. We 15
17 were born inside the catastrophe and with it we have drawn up a strange and peaceable relation of habit. Almost an intimacy. For as long as we can remember we have received no news other than that of the world civil war. We have been raised as survivors, as surviving machines. We have been raised with the idea that life consisted in walking; walking until you collapse among other bodies that walk identically, stumble, and then collapse in turn in indifference. Ultimately the only novelty of the present times is that none of this can be hidden anymore, that in a sense everyone knows it. Hence the most recent hardening of the system: its inner workings are plain, it would be useless to try and conjure them away. Many wonder how no part of the left or far-left, that none of the known political forces, is capable of opposing this course of events. But we live in a democracy, right? They can go on wondering as long as they like: nothing that is expressed in the framework of politics will ever be able to limit the advance of the desert, because politics is part of the desert. We do not say this in order to advocate some ex- 16
18 tra-parliamentary politics as an antidote to liberal democracy. The popular manifesto We are the Left, signed a couple of years ago by all the citizen collectives and social movements to be found in France, expresses well enough the logic that has for thirty years driven extra-parliamentary politics: we do not want to seize power, overthrow the state, etc.; so we want it to recognise us as valid interlocutors. Wherever the classical conception of politics prevails, prevails the same impotence in front of the disaster. That this impotence is widely distributed between a variety of eventually reconcilable identities does not make the slightest difference. The anarchist from the fa, the council communist, the Trotskyist from attac and the Republican Congressman start from the same amputation, propagate the same desert. Politics, for them, is what is settled, said, done, decided between men. The assembly that gathers them all, that gathers all human beings in abstraction from their respective worlds, forms the ideal political circumstance. The economy, the economic sphere, ensues logically: as a necessary and impossible management of all that was left at the door 17
19 of the assembly, of all that was constituted, thus, as non-political and so becomes subsequently: family, business, private life, leisure, passions, culture, etc. That is how the classical definition of politics spreads the desert: by abstracting humans from their worlds, by disconnecting them from the network of things, habits, words, fetishes, affects, places, solidarities that make up their world, their sensible world, and that gives them their specific substance. Classical politics is the glorious stagecraft of bodies without worlds. But the theatrical assembly of political individualities cannot mask the desert that it is. There is no human society separated from the sum of beings. There is a plurality of worlds. Of worlds that are all the more real because they are shared. And that coexist. The political, in truth, is the play between the different worlds, the alliance between those that are compatible and the confrontation between those that are irreconcilable. Therefore we say that the central political fact of the last thirty years went unnoticed. Because it took place at such a deep level of reality that 18
20 it cannot be considered as political without bringing about a revolution in the very notion of the political. Because this level of reality is also the one where the division is elaborated between what is regarded as real and what is not. This central fact is the triumph of existential liberalism. The fact that it is now considered natural for everyone to relate to the world on the basis of his own distinct life. That life consists in a series of choices, good or bad. That each one can be defined by a set of qualities, of properties, that make him or her, by their variable weighting, a sole and irreplaceable being. That the idea of the contract adequately epitomises the relations of commitment between individuals, and the idea of respect epitomises all virtue. That language is only a tool to come to an understanding. That the world is composed on the one hand of things to manage and on the other of an ocean of atomic individuals. Which in turn have an unfortunate tendency to turn into things, by letting themselves get managed. Of course, cynicism is only one of the possible features of the infinite clinical picture of existential liberalism. It also includes depression, apathy, im- 19
21 munodeficiency (every immune system is intrinsically collective), dishonesty, judicial harassment, chronic dissatisfaction, denied attachments, isolation, illusions of citizenship and the loss of all generosity. Existential liberalism has propagated its desert so well that in the end even the most sincere leftists express their utopia in its own terms. We will rebuild an egalitarian society to which each makes his or her contribution and from which each gets the satisfactions he expects from it. [...] As far as individual desires are concerned, it could be egalitarian if each consumes in proportion to the efforts he or she is ready to contribute. Here again the method of measurement of the effort contributed by each will have to be redefined. This is the language chosen by the organisers of the alternative, anti-capitalist, and anti-war village against the g8 summit in Evian in a text entitled When capitalism and wage labour will have been abolished! Here is a key to the triumph of empire: managing to keep in the background, to surround with silence the very ground on which it manoeuvres, the front on which it fights the decisive battle that of the shaping of the sensible, of the forming of sensibilities. In such a way it preventively paralyses any 20
22 defence in the very moment of its operation, and ruins the very idea of a counter-offensive. The victory is won whenever the leftist militant, at the end of a hard day of political work, slumps in front of the latest action movie. When they see us withdraw from the painful rituals the general assembly, the meeting, the negotiation, the protest, the demand when they hear us speak about the sensible world rather than about work, papers, pensions, or freedom of movement, leftist militants give us a pitying look. The poor guys, they seem to say, they have resigned themselves to minority politics, they have retreated into their ghetto, and renounced any widening of the struggle. They will never be a movement. But we believe exactly the opposite: it is they who resign themselves to minority politics by speaking their language of false objectivity, whose weight consists only in repetition and rhetoric. Nobody is fooled by the veiled contempt with which they talk about the worries of the people, and that allows them to switch from the unemployed person to the illegal immigrant, from the striker to the prostitute without ever putting themselves at stake for this contempt forms part of the sensibly evident. Their will to widen is just a way to flee those who are al 21
23 ready there, and with whom, above all, they would fear to live. And finally, it is they who are reluctant to admit the political meaning of the sentiments, who can only count on sentimentality for their pitiful proselytising. All in all, we would rather start from small and dense nuclei than from a vast and loose network. We have known these spineless arrangements long enough. 22
26 Proposition III Those who would respond to the urgency of the situation with the urgency of their reaction only add to the general asphyxiation. Their manner of intervention implies the rest of their politics, of their agitation. As for us, the urgency of the situation just allows us to be rid of all considerations of legality or legitimacy. Considerations that have, in any case, become uninhabitable. That it might take a generation to build a victorious revolutionary movement in all its breadth does not cause us to waver. We envisage this with serenity. Just like we serenely envisage the criminal nature of our existence, and of our gestures.
27 Scholium We have known, we still know, the temptation of activism. The counter-summits, the No-Border camps, the occupations, and the campaigns against evictions, new security laws, the building of new prisons; the succession of all of this. The ever-increasing dispersion of collectives responding to the same dispersion of activity. Running after the movements. Feeling our power on an ad hoc basis, only at the price of returning each time to an underlying powerlessness. Paying the high price for each campaign. Letting it consume all the energy that we have. Then moving to the next one, each time more out of breath, more exhausted, more desolated. And little by little, by dint of demanding, by dint of denouncing, becoming incapable of sensing the presumed basis of our engagement, the nature of the urgency that flows through us. Activism is the first reflex. The standard response to the urgency of the present situation. The perpetual mobilisation in the name of urgency is what our bosses and governments have made us used to, even when we fight against them. 26
28 Forms of life disappear every day, plant or animal species, human experiences and countless relationships between them all. But our feeling of urgency is linked less to the speed of these extinctions than to their irreversibility, and even more to our inability to repopulate the desert. Activists mobilise themselves against the catastrophe. But only prolong it. Their haste consumes the little world that is left. The answer of the activist to urgency remains itself within the regime of urgency, with no hope of getting out of it or interrupting it. The activist wants to be everywhere. She goes everywhere the rhythm of the breakdown of the machine leads her. Everywhere she brings her pragmatic inventiveness, the festive energy of her opposition to the catastrophe. Without fail, the activist mobilises. But she never gives herself the means to understand how it is to be done. How to hinder in concrete terms the progress of the desert, in order to establish inhabitable worlds here and now. We desert activism. Without forgetting what gives it strength: a certain presence to the situation. An ease of movement within it. A way to apprehend the struggle, not from a moral or ideological angle, but from a technical and tactical one. 27
29 Old leftist militantism provides the opposite example. There is something remarkable about the impermeability of militants in the face of situations. We remember a scene in Genoa: about 50 militants of the Ligue Communiste Révolutionnaire wave their red flags labelled 100% to the Left. They are motionless, timeless. They vociferate their calibrated slogans, surrounded by peace-police. Meanwhile, a few meters away, some of us fight the lines of carabinieri, throwing back teargas canisters, ripping up the sidewalk to make projectiles, preparing Molotov cocktails with bottles found in the trash and gasoline from upturned Vespas. When compelled to comment on us the militants speak of adventurism, thoughtlessness. Their pretext is that the conditions are not right. We say that nothing was missing, that everything was there, but them. What we desert in leftist militantism is this absence to the situation. Just as we desert the inconsistency to which activism condemns us. Activists themselves feel this inconsistency. And this is why, periodically, they turn toward their elders, the militants. They borrow their ways, terrains of struggle, slogans. What appeals to them in 28
30 leftist militantism is the consistency, the structure, the fidelity they lack. This allows the activists to resort to slogans and demands citizenship for all, free movement of people, guaranteed income, free public transport. The problem with demands is that, formulating needs in terms that make them audible to power, they say nothing about those needs, and what real transformations of the world they require. Thus, demanding free public transportation says nothing of our need to travel rather than be transported, of our need for slowness. But also, demands often end up masking the real conflicts whose stakes they set. Demanding free public transportation only retards the diffusion of the techniques of fare-dodging, at least for this specific milieu. Calling for the free movement of people just eludes the issue of practical escape from the tightening of control. Fighting for a guaranteed income is, at best, condemning ourselves to the illusion that an improvement of capitalism is necessary to get out of it. Whatever form it takes, it is always the same dead end: the subjective resources mobilised may be revolutionary; yet they remain inserted in a program of radical reforms. Under the pretext of 29
31 overcoming the alternative between reform and revolution we sink into an opportune ambiguity. The present catastrophe is that of a world actively made uninhabitable. Of a sort of methodical devastation of everything that remained liveable in the relations of humans with each other and with their worlds. Capitalism could not have triumphed over the whole planet if it was not for techniques of power, specifically political techniques. There are all kinds of techniques: with or without tools, corporal or discursive, erotic or culinary, the disciplines and mechanisms of control, and it is pointless to denounce the reign of technics. The political techniques of capitalism consist first in breaking the attachments through which a group finds the means to produce, in the same movement, the conditions of its subsistence and those of its existence. In separating human communities from countless things stones and metals, plants, trees that have a thousand purposes, gods, djinns, wild or tamed animals, medicines and psycho-active substances, amulets, machines, and all the other beings with which human groups compose worlds. Ruining all community, separating groups from their means of existence and from the knowledge linked to 30
32 them, it is political reason that dictates the incursion of the commodity as the mediator of every relation. Just as the witches had to be disposed of, their medicinal knowledge as well as the communication between the spheres which they allowed to exist, today peasants have to renounce their ability to plant their own seeds in order to maintain the grip of multinational corporations and other bodies of agricultural policy. These political techniques of capitalism find their maximal point of concentration in the contemporary metropole. The metropole is the place where, in the end, there is almost nothing left to reappropriate. A milieu in which everything is done so the human only relates to himself, only creates himself separately from other forms of existence, uses or rubs shoulders with them without ever encountering them. In the background of this separation, and to make it durable, the most minor attempt at disregarding commodity relationships has been made criminal. The field of legality was long ago reduced to the multiple constraints which make life impossible, through wage labour or self-management, voluntary aid or leftist militancy. 31
33 As this field becomes always more uninhabitable, everything that can contribute to making life possible has been turned into a crime. Where activists claim that No one is illegal one must recognise the opposite: today an entirely legal existence would be entirely submissive. There is tax evasion, fictitious employment, insider dealings and fake bankruptcies, embezzlement of grants and insurance fraud, forged documents and welfare scams. There are the voyages across borders in aeroplane baggage holds, the trips without a ticket through a town or a country. Fare-dodging and shoplifting are the daily practices of thousands of people in the metropole. And there are illegal practices of trading seeds that have saved many plant species. There are illegalities that are more functional than others for the capitalist worldsystem. There are some that are tolerated, others that are encouraged, and eventually others that are punished. An improvised vegetable garden on a wasteland has every chance of being flattened by a bulldozer before the first harvest. If we consider the sum of the laws of exception and customary rules that govern the space that anyone goes through in one day, there is henceforth not a single existence that can be assured of impunity. There 32
34 exist laws, codes and decisions of jurisprudence that make every existence punishable; it would just be a matter of applying them to the letter. We are not ready to bet that where the desert grows also grows a salvation. Nothing can happen that does not begin with a secession from everything that makes this desert grow. We know that building a power of any scale will take time. There are lots of things that we no longer know how to do. In fact, as all those who benefited from modernisation and the education dispensed in our developed lands, we barely know how to do anything. Even gathering plants for cooking or medicinal purpose rather than for decoration is regarded at best as archaic, at worst as quaint. We make a simple observation: everyone has access to a certain amount of resources and knowledge made available by the simple fact of living in these lands of the old world; and can communise them. The question is not whether to live with or without money, to steal or to buy, to work or not, but how to use the money for increasing our autonomy from the commodity sphere. And if we prefer stealing than working, producing for ourselves than stealing, it is not out of concern for some kind of purity. It is be- 33
35 cause the flows of power that accompany the flows of commodities, the subjective submission that conditions the means of survival, have become exorbitant. There would be many inappropriate ways to say what we envisage: we neither want to leave for the countryside nor gather ancient knowledge to accumulate it. We are not merely concerned with the reappropriation of means. Nor would we restrict ourselves to the reappropriation of knowledge. If we put together all the knowledge and techniques, all the inventiveness displayed in the field of activism, we would not get a revolutionary movement. It is a question of temporality. A question of creating the conditions where an offensive can sustain itself without fading, of establishing the material solidarities that allow us to hold on. We believe there is no revolution without the constitution of a common material force. We do not ignore the anachronism of this belief. We know it is too early and also that it is too late, that is why we have time. We have ceased to wait. 34

Why not make it your New Year's resolution (ok, a bit belated) to sign up to the Professional Development Record (PDR) and let it take the strain in terms of recording your CPD.
All you need to do is record what CPD you have carried out, and the PDR calculates how many hours you have clocked up over the last three years, and lets you know when you have met the RCVS target.
It also encourages you to plan your CPD and reflect on what you have learned, with space to record learning objectives, and how you will meet them, and also upload notes and certificates.
When it comes to PSS inspections, just email a snapshot of your record to the person co-ordinating the inspection in the practice, and the Inspector can view them all at once. Simple!
Register for the PDR for vets or the PDR for VNs.

What Factors Foot Suffering?posted on 17 Feb 2014 02:55 by healthatheel
Surgery Surgery may be needed for some patients, typically those who have disabling heel pain that does not respond to other treatments for at least a year. A typical surgery is called instep plantar fasciotomy. It relieves pressure on the nerves that are causing pain by removing and therefore releasing part of the plantar fascia. A less invasive method uses a procedure called endoscopy, which requires smaller incisions. Wearing a below-the-knee walking cast after surgery for 2 weeks may reduce the need for pain relief and speed recovery time compared to the use of crutches.
Stress Fracture. A stress fracture in the foot, also called fatigue or march fracture, usually occurs from a break or rupture in any of the five metatarsal bones (mostly in the second or third). Fracture in the first metatarsal bone that leads to the big toe is uncommon because of the thickness of this bone. If it occurs there, it is more serious than fractures in the other metatarsal bones, because it dramatically changes the pattern of normal walking and weight bearing. (Stress fractures can also occur in the heel area.) They are caused by overuse during strenuous exercise, particularly jogging and high-impact aerobics.
RICE The acronym RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation) is used to remind people of the four basic elements of immediate treatment for an injured foot. People should get off injured feet as soon as possible (Rest). Ice is particularly important to reduce swelling and promote recovery during the first forty-eight hours. A bag or towel containing ice should be wrapped around the injured area on a repetitive cycle of 20 minutes on, 40 minutes off (Ice). An ace bandage should be lightly wrapped around the area (Compression). The foot should be elevated on several pillows (Elevation).
The plantar fascia supports the bones of the heels and maintains the arch of the heel. The Arch Pain is a bony projection that leads away from the plantar fascia into the surrounding tissues of the body. More often than not, heel spurs and plantar fasciitis together cause sharp pain in the foot. The severe foot pain experienced by you, when you put your weight on your foot, while taking first step, is because of the heel spur poking into the surrounding living mass of tissues, nerves, tendons and muscles. Your doctor may advise you to take an X-ray of the feet to detect the heel spur.
Usually heel pain occurs due to extreme sprain or in some cases it can cause from a trauma to the heel. Your heel is that part of the body which touches the ground in the course of walking. When you are walking, it is your heel bone that is more likely to stress. The most common reason of heel pain or spurs is a condition called plantar fasciitis. When the plantar fascia (a band or group of fibrous tissue) that runs under the foot and forms your arch is turned out to be inflamed this condition is called plantar fasciitis.
If you are a sufferer of side of foot pain it can impact significantly on the quality of your life. We tend to take our feet for granted but when getting from A to B becomes restrictive or even painful then it is time to seek a remedy. The causes of Side of Foot Pain can be due to many reasons but most significantly it is due to wearing incorrect footwear. Where possible try to restrict the use of high heels to nights out and stick to flat shoes during the day.
If you experience foot pain caused by plantar fasciitis, you are most likely in search of successful plantar fasciitis pain therapy. You are not alone. Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of foot pain. This condition is due to an inflammation of the band of tissues (plantar fascia) connecting your heel to your toes. Many people say that the pain feels like a stabbing or burning sensation that starts at the heel and tends to spread forward into the toes. This is why many folks are so desperate to find plantar fasciitis pain therapy. It can be agonizingly painful and will get worse without therapy.
