Plantar Fasciitis

[happylabs]

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.
