25F, been working in retail since i was 17-21. Then became a Teacher from 21 to now. My job requires me to stand for long period of time (e.g, 7 hours straight) with breaks in between. One day, I woke up with a very sharp pain on my left heel.

I ignored, assumed it was just a “temporary” thing”. Lasted for almost 6 months (to present), and decided to go to the doctor. Said I have PF. No cure to it unless i quit my job. I feel so dumbfounded as I love my job, and I’ve tried several ways to find “relief” but it doesn’t help.

My thigh has some visible spider veinss, and often my calves are painful after a long time of walking. The only time where I do feel less discomfort is when I literally do NOT work and just lie down on the bed.

i worked in the EC industry and usually when i apply for jobs, i would get some responses but now it's like im in COMPETITION mode >< i've been applying for 3 months already and usually our industry is the fastest to get a job. idgi!

i have an upcoming test on wednesday, taking this for a course requirement. is there any tips? thanks!
