My friend who was diagnosed with this at the end of June is better. She went to an orthopedic doctor and was given a round of steroids and a splint to wear at night. I've been doing the exercises and am still in pain. Although some days it is much better than others. I think that the vacuuming really aggravates my right foot. In trying to compensate, my left arch is now slightly sore. My friend lent me her splint to wear at night. Although I don't have the bad pain the morning that so many people mention. Mine is mostly after walking or especially working. I have thought back and I've had this heel pain for over a year. It's not always terrible. If I clean two houses in one day, that is the worst. I went to Disney back in March and it didn't hurt at all, even with walking around the parks all day every day. But it started again as soon as I got back to my routine. I don't know what I'm going to do about that. I am thinking about going to a podiatrist if this splint doesn't help in a few days. My massage therapist sister will be in town tomorrow, so I'm having her massage my back and feet for me. I wish it would go away.
