Getting wrecked by planter fasciitis

I had a brief experience with it. I got rid of it by rolling a tennis ball and a frozen water bottle under my foot.

I had it bad and cured it by getting a very good pair of Cross Training type shoes and started jumping rope.

I did all the rolling with tennis balls and water bottles and none of that worked. My Brother in law cured his with jump rope so I started doing 250-500 a day and it healed after a few months. I can now run distance and sprints again. Before the jump rope I couldn't do that at all

Dealing with it now and it sucks. I’ve also been stretching, gotten inserts, used the ice bottle, and even a night splint. I’d say it has improved but still not totally gone after 3 months. I may also try jumping rope.

Had injections twice over the past three months. Doc taped up my feet which is supposed to provide more support than any shoe or insert. Had to wear a 'shower bag' to keep the tape on for a week each time. I switched from dress shoes to tennis shoes and bought an insert from the Good Feet Store (not recommended -- too expensive and can get something similar online or from a doctor). I do not walk without some kind of support on my feet. I wear night splints periodically.

While my feet are not as sore as they were, they are still sore.

It sucks.

I gave a patient a direct steroid injection for it and she said that her pain/discomfort remained over 90% improved when I talked to her almost 12 months later. She had been dealing with it for around 10 years prior to the injection.

I did the stretching and rolling techniques and eventually it went away. Every year or two my plantar fasciitis returns and I get rid of it this way fairly quickly.

If you wear Nike, stop. Switch over to asics, brooks, or Saucony. I had it about 15 years ago. Doc gave me a boot to sleep in and it improved my situation but I didn't get it to go away until I switched over to a better shoe. Consider asking your doc for a steroid dose pack to calm it down and switch shoes.

Just got over my 2 month bout with it. Painful as all hell getting out of bed in the morning and trying to walk. I did a lot of stretching exercises. Compression socks did nothing for me.

Had it off and on a few times in either foot mainly from being old and trying too much sports and wearing “office shoes” at work with no support. Corticosteroid injection to the plantar fascia and wearing hiking/athletic shoes with added arch support, got rid of it for good. And, I had a great doctor. However, that shot is not for pussies.

Cortisone injection can clear that up.
