plantar fasciitis
Posted: Mar 30, 2010
Just recently I have been experiencing symptoms that would fit this diagnosis. My father also has the same problem. I have watched stretching videos online and have begun to incorporate those as well as ice and rolling my foot around on a tennis ball while I work. Luckily it is my left foot. I also take ibuprofen every day.
Any other suggestions that may have worked for you? I really do not want to visit a DPM or PT unless absolutely necessary. I saw the Strassburg Sock online and may try that too. Any reviews or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. tia

plantar fasciitis - Pauline
[ In Reply To ..]I had the same problem years ago and mine was due to bone spur. It got so bad I could not walk at all on it. I finally caved in and went to the podiatrist and I had to have it removed via day surgery. I took medicine and steroid injection before to no avail. I would suggest seeing a podiatrist because those tendons might just be attached to a bone spur that is what is keeping it irritated. I tried every home remedy and nothing worked for me. After I had the minor surgery, it cleared up. Good luck whatever you decide.

I can hardly walk, and I found I have to wear my shoes for support even when I am in the house just to be able to walk with less pain. I nev ...
