Plantar Fasciitis
Seriously. This shit sucks. I've had it for a couple years. Basically, it is the soft tissue that holds your arch up gets inflamed and pissed off. Wikipedia
Over the last couple years, I've bought Orthotic insoles from my chiropractor and have Ecco boots. So every day for work, I lace up $500. But it continues to get worse, despite not doing anything overly active. I'll go to the chiropractor for awhile and it will feel better, but as soon as I quit for awhile, it is back and pissed off. I can't really justify going to the chiropractor once or twice a week 52 times a year. From both a time and financial perspective. I could stand to lose some weight, but it is difficult when you can't do much exercise with your legs. Does anyone have any experience with Plantar Fasciitis? Anyone find any relief? |

You would need to work up to it, but to answer the question (yes).

I have had PF several times. Had shots twice and it did the trick. I would be fine for about a year, then it would come back. Something I have done is put a golf ball in the freezer and roll it around with my foot, that seemed to help some. My doctor told me if I get it again he will suggest surgery. He said I would never have to deal with it again if I had the surgery done.

I have not tried that technique but it looks ok to provide support. I wrap tape all the way around the foot for compression.

I was diagnosed back in the late 90's and the ONLY shoes I buy are New Balance. You buy them and use the "Shoe Last" to get what you need. I use the SL-2 shoe last that has a higher instep. I have had the best luck with these not making my feet hurt when walking all day.

Put your foot on a tennis ball and press down hard, run back and forth quite a few times, s few times a day. Shoe inserts, Advil and run it off. That's was the only thing that cured mine.

Oh and a "GOOD" pair of Birkenstock sandals to wear in nice weather help tremendously as well.
Once you wear them "IN" you will never wear anything else around the house or out and about doing errands.

Running barefoot fixed it for me. Arch supports were just a band aid.
