Plantar fasciitis

[ASR-Briggs]

If you really get plantar fasciitis, you don’t get rid of it. That’s been my experience.

Are you implying that everyone who has recovered from PF actually never had PF in the first place?

I definitely had it; the first time so bad I thought I had fractured my heal. It took a long time to heel (still thought it was a fracture). Two years later I got it again (same foot) and realized it was PF, not nearly as bad, but still bad.

That was 5-6 years ago (first was 10-ish years ago). Knock on wood hasn’t come back, but I have a much better idea on what to do if it does.

My supervisor has dealt with this for years. He said what helped him was some ankle brace thing he wears when sleeping. He said holding his feet at 90 degrees to his legs when sleeping has alleviated much of the problem.

I had it at around 30 years of age. My way out way physical therapy where I changed my running gait and cadence to 180 steps per minute. Had to bike and run a little though painful to get healed up. Also worked on hip mobility and big toe mobility. I’ve been pain free for 13 years! There is hope. I still have other aches and pains but they are minor compared to plantar fascia pain

I had Plantar Fasciitis really bad for about a year and a half. It went away a few months ago but I still feel remnants of it in my foot sometimes.

My podiatrist had me take a towel/resistance band right under the toes and pull towards me for a 5 count. 3 sets of this in the morning and the evening. I got a small PF brace from the foot care area of my local CVS(My podiatrist approved of it) and I changed my everyday sneaker wear to Brooks with PF specific(Currex brand) insoles and got Currex insoles for my running shoes.
