with Plantar Fasciitis ( of both feet at the same time ), I learned it was from working long hours during the day , exercising at 4:30 and 5:00am in the morning and building the business at night . I also had sciatica and remember prior to the excruciating pain that sent me to the doctor , I had this ache in my middle back that only hurt when I moved . I thought it was muscle ache . The ache started to move downward . I remember thinking …. maybe it will eventually move right out of me . It did not . The muscle ache pain changed to excruciating nerve pain that hurt continuously , with no relief . But aside from having cancer , eczema proved to be the most frustrating .
