Missing even one or two of these consistently can stall recovery from foot and joint problems.Does weight gain really affect foot pain like plantar fasciitis?Yes. Every extra pound adds roughly four to six pounds of added force on your joints and tendons, and excess weight also raises inflammation and insulin resistance, which slows healing. Addressing weight and diet together often resolves stubborn plantar fasciitis that hasn't responded to shots or physical therapy.What lab tests should I ask my doctor for if I have chronic foot pain?Ask for vitamin D, vitamin B12, MTHFR, magnesium, fasting serum insulin, and inflammatory markers like ESR and CRP. These are not always ordered automatically, so you often need to request them specifically.📱 RESOURCESWebsite: www.bregmanfance.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bregman_fance/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BregmanFootandNerveYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DrPeterBregmanDPMfootguru🔔 Subscribe for weekly breakdowns on foot health, nerve conditions, and regenerative medicine from a board certified foot surgeon with nearly 30 years of clinical experience.ABOUT DR.
