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.

That makes it DRAMATICALLY worse for me. Even walking around my house barefoot flares it up.

It did at first, but I was told that strengthening the foot is the only way to heal it. Arch supports just allow the foot to further atrophy. Another thing that helped me was sleeping in one of the boots made for PF.

Try the goodfeet arch supports, they have the only system that I have used that will strengthen your arch support. All other that I have just masks the problem.

I know that feeling...It sucks and people that don't have it don't have a clue how painful it is.

BUT I also get flare ups of Gout on top of that and it seems like I'm always gimped up with some foot ailment. Gout hits the top of my foot 95% of the time. So it completely sucks when they BOTH hit at the same time and it has happened more than I can count on all toes and fingers.

I forgot to mention compression socks. I've switched about 80% of my socks to compression.

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?

I wouldn't want it.

Mother **** this shit. I thought I was doing pretty through the winter. Wrong-o.

**Buehler445** · 04-23-2013, 09:59 PM

Icing my feet currently. Been doing it too much lately.

Man, I picked up a case of this about 9 months ago, and it hurt like heck. I went out for a run, everything was fine, and when I got back and showered I was limping. I thought maybe I'd stepped on a rock or something, but it just kept getting worse. It hurt like a son of a gun for months. I was about to go spend $400 on an orthotic, but bought a $12 Dr. Scholl's insert at the grocery store after accidentally seeing it. It felt better immediately and healed over the course of about three months.

I would not like to ever have that again.

I suffer from this very ailment. I bought the $50 Dr. Scholl's insoles then went to a podiatrist and spent hundreds of dollars when I could have fixed it for under $20. I am on my feet for 8+ hours a day. These have helped me tremendously. I have had NO foot pain since I started wearing these. They're so comfortable I wear them even when I'm not at work.

On my days off I sometimes don't wear them at all, but they feel good so I like to wear them.
