>From: IANTD SA <[log in to unmask]> >He's had Plantar Fasciitis for about a year now Mary Shomon doesn't like to come out and say low thyroid causes things - Plantar Fasciitis - Linked with Hypothyroidism? "Heel pain -- known as plantar fasciitis, is more common in people with thyroid conditions. " She should add "undertreated" - http://www.thyroid-info.com/dietnews/5apr.htm "10. Muscle and Joint Pains, Carpal Tunnel/Tendonitis Problems, Plantar's Fasciitis/Foot Pain Aches and pains in muscles and joints, and a tendency to develop carpal tunnel in the arms/hands, tarsal tunnel in the legs, and plantar's fasciitis in the feet, can all be symptoms of undiagnosed thyroid problems. " Others - B12 is commonly low in hypos due to low stomach acid, which causes low B12, and you can see that appears to be one cause, as they test for it (My podiatrist ran no labs) - http://www.foottrainer.com/plantar/whom.html "Common plantar fasciitis tests are: diabetes, degenerative joint diseases, lupus, fibromyalgia, ms, arthritis, lymes disease, parasites, vitamin B12 and C deficiency, thyroid levels, mercury toxicity, candida, adrenal deficiency, structural stress fractures and bone spurs."
