I was discussing this once with an ER doctor friend of mine, who also suffered from it. He said he had the injection and promptly passes out. That was enough for me not to pursue that remedy. I had the best luck with the previously mentioned boot one wears at night, which keeps your toes and the front of your foot elevated during sleep. Lent it to a friend, who also had good results. | |||

I suffered for about a year. Tried 6 or 7 different insoles with no help. walked with a consideral limp. Finally got the shot. Doc put it in the side of my heel, barely felt it. Been pain free for the last 4 or 5 years. | |||

Start with good shoes that have orthotic footbeds (e.g., finn comfort) or remove the OEM footbed and replace with good inserts. I used to buy finn comfort inserts and put them in my boots, etc. www.finncomfort.com/classic-co...perforated-4470.html They have fantastic metatarsal support. Superfeet are good too but I use them more for maintenance and not so much to cure (e.g., I wear them in my hockey skates). A few brands shoe brands that accept inserts are Finn Comfort, Birkenstock, Keen. It will take as long to cure as the symptoms you are experiencing. IOW, started to hurt three months ago....it will take you 3 mos to get better.This message has been edited. Last edited by: x0225095, 0:01 | |||

The first bout I treated very aggressively, RICE, pt, doctors, heat, etc. I spent about $1500, and after a year and a half, the symptoms went away. Great! I started training aggressively, hoping to do Ironman New Zealand later that year. A few months later, the symptoms returned. This time, I did nothing, just reduced, then eventually stopped running and riding. After 18 months, I was all better. So, if you treat it aggressively, it takes a year and a half. Otherwise, it takes 18 months. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

Had this for a few years. Chiro told me to do stretches, and make sure you stretch the calf muscles too. Can stand on th edge of a stair step, and balance on your toes, and flex your heels down as much as you can and hold a few minutes. Also, I went to New Balance shoe store, and managed to find some everyday dress shoes, which is what I have to wear for work, made by Cobb Hill. Ever since I started wearing those, my pain started going away, and I haven’t had it for about 3 years now. Tried inserts, insoles, and nothing helped until I changed shoes and kept stretching too. Used to feel like my feet were so cramped up, and could barely walk until the muscles would finally relax every morning. Good luck! | |||

Would like to echo this.. I suffered from mild plantar faciitis and chronic insertional Achilles tendonitis. After about a month of daily turmaric pill, my Achilles definitely feeling better. Started taking it after reading about it on.... where else - SigForum.  | |||

I take 6 turmeric pills per day. The more the better. Can’t hurt you either. Just an all natural spice that reduces all sorts of inflammation. | |||

When mine was diagnosed over 10 years ago my Ortho joked that I could either get inserts or start wearing high heels. I ended up going to the Good Feet Store and have been pain free ever since. | |||

Custom insoles helped me, or boots with a good sized heel | |||

A co-worker had a few sessions of acupuncture which took care of his plantar faciitis. | |||

local store had some profit 3/4 length Plantar faciitis in soles. USA made and $11. I am giving them a try and have a gatorade bottle of water in the freezer. Will try that tonight as well. Fingers crossed. Thanks for the advice guys. "Practice like you want to play in the game" | |||

Its hit me over the past month, off and on, now it's in full ass kicking mode, Doc prescribed Diclofenac, 75mg twice a day. Ordered a pair of Bitley Plantar Fasciitis ankle brace and compression support socks off Amazon, $17 a pair, plus the rolling knobby ball. I think the thing to get is the sleeping position boot that holds your foot in place. I'm rolling my foot on a bottle of ice water and thinking maybe it's time to start drinking again... | |||

So you know I'm not lying when I was it was a toss up between the faciitis pain and the injection. But I'm also not lying about the morphine in the front end of needle. It makes all the difference in the world. Maybe my second doctor found out about it by clicking on an Internet link titled: Treat your faciitis patients pain free with this one weird trick. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

First injection I got when I had it was from my primary care doc. He went straight in from the bottom of the heel and it hurt like hell. Probably the worst injection I have ever had. The next two were done by the podiatrist. He used an ultrasound find his target and then went in from the side with a little lidocaine in the tip of the needle. No pain whatsoever on either of those two. Lesson learned. | |||

This worked for me, and it was so inexpensive, I did not believe it would be possible. BTW, I suffered with P.F. for 10 years. Good luck. https://www.amazon.com/SB-SOX-...ar+fasciitis+support | |||

I get it from time to time. Usually in the left foot. When the stretching, and other methods don't help, i generally have to get the cortisone injection. Have had it done about 3 times over the years. I think those compression socks might be worth a shot. | |||

You sure it’s plantar fasciitis? Geneerally the inflammation is from overuse and improper stretching which is why runners get it. Have you had it before? You might have more of a heel spur situation that was exacerbated by the sock. It’s true that chronic plantar fasciitis can cause bone spurs but ultimately the treatment is surgical. For true plantar faschiitis loosening up the calf muscles is key. Night splints, calf stretches, rolling frozen water bottle along the underside of your foot all should help. Is the pain worse in the morning when you first wake up? _______________________________________________ Use thumb-size bullets to create fist-size holes. | |||
