Guest guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 I have not found anything on the internet, other than stay off feet. Does anyone here have any experience with this debilitating foot problem? ~ Lynn Koiner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 I have had problems with Plantar Fasciitis for about 8 years now. I have prescription inserts (arch supports for my shoes). I also wear my shoes all day when I'm having problems. I tend to wear a good supporting tennis shoe because my inserts fit into them best. I do use hiking shoes too. I avoid dress shoes except when I have to. The inserts are expensive so I only have one pair and I switch between my shoes. The other thing I do is calf stretches. I have recently found that hamstring stretches are helpfull too. That's the only suggesting I have.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 >Does anyone here have any experience with this debilitating foot problem?< Lots of vitamin c and high c bearing fruits, lots of high quality protein, beef liver powder, oral DMSO and arch-supporting orthotics. Dr. Scholl's arch-supporting orthotics were best for me and especially their new full support insole. That one cost about $18 a pair and I've had to buy several. You must identify any movements you are regularly making that stretch the plantar, any shoes that are doing the same, and eliminate or modify shoes or movements. It is very difficult to deal with this but it can be done. Daddybob Checked by AVG.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 I had this, too, and it went away when I was treated for hypothyroidism. Maybe you should get your thyroid hormone checked?

In their " healthy living " magazine, they have a Doctor recommended, comfortable night support, that holds your feet at the recommended angle, while you sleep. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Chiropractors can use graston tools successfully to treat plantar fascitis. My sister is in chiropractic school, almost finished, and said today her patient in clinic could barely walk due to plantar fascitis pain, and after several treatments he is very much improved.
