heel stretches-put the biggest yellow pages/hardbacked book you can find on the floor, drop your heels off the side while you balance on the toes/forefoot 4-6 times a day. anti-inflammatories, motrin 800 mgs three times a day with food, a real meal. tape your heels-no not together but from the outside (little toe side) to the inside-(big toe side) this didn't work as well for me. coritsone injections can help, weight loss helps. and really well padded shoes help,-no more cute cheap shoes-heel pads with circular holes are available, hope some/any of this helps
