if you feel the inability to get rid of flip flops, they make brands with arch support

I used to have it and it was awful.

Unfortunately, nothing but time heals it. Get a water bottle or a coke bottle or something and freeze water in it so you can roll that under your foot to ice it down. Like chicken said, the cylindrical shape feels good along the arch of the foot.

When I had it, I had severe pain for about a month, and moderate pain for a couple more months after that. Good luck!

Had it. Hurt like crazy in the mornings. Get insoles with arch support. Haven't had to deal with it in 10 years.

Never wear flip flops, never wear socks on hardwood floors.

Get Strasburg sock.
Stretch daily
Ice when it flares up.

Suck it up and just get some Birkenstocks

Roll a tennis ball or round wooden cylinder building block toy under my foot to stretch the tendon. Arch supports.

I had just recently gotten over a case of spontaneous dental hydroplosion when I found out I had this. Hasn't been fun.

Just cut your foot off. Much easier that way.

what's your best method for heeling?

shanks.

Maximum amount of daily Ibprofen.

Ice a couple times a day.

Not running for a while, even after the pain goes away.

Buy a lacrosse ball and use that.

I've also used a compression sock/sleeve that gives extra support to the foot muscles. This plus the ice/meds routine worked for me. I'd also wear the sock at night to help prevent flare ups in the morning.

I have a threshold weight. As long as I'm under that it's no problem, but past that weight it gets worse and worse the heavier I get.

It's ok. You put your best foot forward. It's unfortunate that it just wasn't that funny.

It's sucks! Had to get arch supports. The stretching exercises helped.

Are we really gonna act like OP didn't make a pretty good foot pun?

Realized it was a dx/dy after I had already posted a legit response.

I plantar my fasciitis in your mom's colitis.

The tennis ball works. Also, get a foot massage, have the therapist work the location with as much pressure as you can take before shedding tears. It will suck, but I think it works out some of the scar tissue and bone spurs that have developed.

I got better shoes and that helped a lot. LL Bean clog type walking shoes, while a bit frumpy, totally remedied my foot pain to the extent that I wore them as recovery shoes after runs.

I did and it was awful. A knowledgeable shoe salesman put me in a bigger running shoe (+1 in size) with a larger toe box and good arch support. He then showed me how to lace up a bit differently to prevent my foot from sliding. Check out slide 3 for reference in this website:

Problem went away in about a month.

Good luck!

I know there are options to have shots for pain and it worked temporarily for a coworker, but I never needed that route..

Had the shot and it did wonders for me.

Also a frozen water bottle works well. Roll you foot over it while sitting.

Ride a bike 30 minutes a day.

Cured mine.

I ended up having a cortisone shot in my heel because of it, about 2 years ago. I then got some special inserts.

I ended up buying 4 different inserts, including $80 ones I got from the doctor - but those ended up making other parts of my feet hurt.

I eventually found a $10 or so paid at HEB - Dr Scholls. They work great with arch support, and I have several pairs now. 1 in every pair of shoes.

Go to an Airrosti doc. 1-2 visits it'll be knocked out

Both feet.

Shots work short term
Inserts did work for yrs but eventually had to have a procedure know as a Koby release done on one of my feet. That was 3 yrs ago and all is good.

I developed Plantar Fasciitis four years ago. Podiatrist put me in a night splint, orthotics and injections every 6 weeks for almost 3 years. I was two weeks from having a surgical procedure to "release" the tendon when I found this video on youtube When I do these stretches consistently my symptoms almost fully disappear. I do them 3-5 times a day and it takes about 3 minutes each time. Well worth the time and I feel much better when I do them consistently. I've not gone back to my podiatrist as I feel I no longer need him and I don't like that he did not teach me the fundamental stretches. Good luck.

we all keep responding even after we realize the dillweed doesn't have plantar fasciitis, he was just doing a dx/dy thread.

Who is the actual chump? OP or us?

I have had it, but thankfully mine has mostly gone away. I changed my shoes (less flip-flops), Motrin when the pain was unbearable, and finally, when I thought about it, rolling my heel around on a ball or something cylindrical and frozen.

chikens foot on my ball

How YOU doin'?

Girlfriend's father bought a brand of flip flops named Oofos. He loves them
