Plantar Fasciitis

I have it as well.

I wear arch supports. that is my problem. I have an EXTREMELY high arch. hubby has it as well but his problem is he is flat footed so it depends on your "condition"

He had to get special orthepedic insoles and I just use the Dr scholls insoles for now.

I had it a few years ago when I voluntereed at the bingo hall, I bought some cheap rubber things for my shoes, my pain was in the heal.

I haven't had any of that pain in a few years. Another guy I volunteered with was a walking mailman, he had to have cortisone shots every so often because of his line of work, he wasn't over weight at all.

Yes I have it to!!! I can't believe how many people here have it as well. Mine seems to come and go. The frozen soda bottle helped me. Also, I go to my chiropractor and he does ultrasound treatments although I am not sure this does all that much. My problem is I do not like to wear shoes in the summer time. I am in sandals or nothing. My foot doctor told me this is a no-no but I have been barefoot all my life when I can be. She told me to get the New Balance sneakers which I hated. I haven't really tried the exercises but I will after reading this thread.

I had it a while back. I had not tried crocks at that time so I can't vouch for them during a flareup. But the condition is totally gone now and the crocs are practically the only thing I wear.

I placed this insole in my shoes and it helped a lot!!

There are plenty of insoles to choose from out there, but this one has an extra thick oval spot of padding at the heel and it was WAY the best.

I did the stretch where you bend your toes toward you, the most.

I wish I had a miracle cure for you, PF sucks, and it took a long time to go away.

I'm not sure if I have this or not but if I wear thongs or sandals for a while my toes will start hurting. I'm sure it has something to do with my arch. I know that my mom has to buy arch supports and she puts them in all of her shoes. I bought some Dr. Scholls shoes with air-pillo gel insoles and they've really helped me a lot. I hate wearing shoes when I'm at home though and I mainly walk around in my socks or slippers.
