My Updates

December 4 2025 

足裏、足底に何かある感じがある病気は、神経系がやられる足根管症候群のほか、筋や腱に炎症が起きる足底筋膜炎（腱膜炎）の両方にかかり、今もまだ悩まされている。また、あしゆびの裏やあいだに水虫が繁殖して角質を食べられてしまう病気にもかかっている。いまのところ、こういう病気持ちなのは左足だけで、右足は健常。

I am still suffering from different kinds of diseases that make me feel like something is in the sole of my left foot.  They are tarsal tunnel syndrome, which damages the nervous system, and plantar fasciitis (tendonitis), which causes inflammation of the muscles and tendons. I also suffer from athlete's foot, which breeds on the sole of my left toes and between them, eating away at the keratin. So far, only the left foot has these diseases, while the right foot is healthy.



このうち現在最もかみついてくるのは水虫だ。冬に向かい活動性は少し弱まってきたようだが、それでも歩きに影響が出て杖を突いている。

Of these, athlete's foot is currently the one that bites the most. Its activity seems to have waned a bit as we head into winter, but it still affects my walking and I have to use a cane.



足底のほうは、洗濯板からベニヤ板などを経由して薄い和紙が貼り付いている感じにまで改善してきた。その結果、寝ている最中の左右両足の交流が増し、たとえば右足のアーチの部分で左足のアーチをこすってやるなんてことができるようになった。

The feeling of the sole of the foot has improved from washboard to thin Japanese paper stuck to it via plywood and other materials. As a result, the interaction between the left and right feet while lying in bed has increased, and it is now possible, for example, to rub the arch of the left foot with that of the right one.



だからゆっくりとだが快方に向かっていると信じたい。
So I would like to believe that I am on the mend, albeit slowly.



あしゆびのうらやあいだの水虫繁殖地も、オロナイン塗布のおかげか地質が改良してきた。この軟膏はじゅくじゅくしない水虫用と断られているが、そうでもなさそうだ。

The geology of the athlete's foot and the area between the toenails has also improved, probably thanks to the application of Oronain. This ointment is supposed to be not for athlete's foot weeping or oozing, but that does not seem to be the case.



指の曲げ伸ばしは足底のごわごわを強めるので、あまりやらない。しかし、右足のかかとで指裏を指圧すると気持ちが良い。

I don't do much toe bending because it intensifies the stiffness of the sole. However, acupressure on the soles of the toes with the heel of the right foot feels good.
