Had it a couple years ago... Tried different things... Said some prayers one night and was gone the next day... No joke.

Go to New Balance store they will put you in the right shoe and insert, wear them every day never go barefoot. Takes a good six months but you will heal. You can then go back to your regular shoes but if you start having problems again go back to NB shoes.


This is what my wife did. It didn't take 6 months but it took a little while.

Roll a lacrosse ball under your foot mutiple times a day.

Stretch your calves and hamstrings.

Wear the correct shoes for your foot

In addition to the great suggestion of arch supports, the best thing you can do is perform about 100 ankle pumps while in bed first thing in the morning before you get out of bed, every single day.

Ankle pumps are simply wiggling your foot up and down, including flexing and extending you toes fully, up and down, x 100 reps BEFORE getting out of bed.

This warms up your plantar fascia and increases blood flow to the area, making it more flexible, before you load the fascia by bearing weight (standing, walking).

If you don't do this, you stand up and load an already-irritated and tight plantar fascia, and micro-tear the fascia brand new every day.

You always want to prevent new/re-injury.

I've had it so bad it put me on crutches. Have had several shots and they hurt like hell. Your eyes will water when the needle gets into the inflamed area.
Now I have special orthodics, wear only certain shoes and if I wear crocs on a daily basis there is no pain.
Mostly rest your feet when it flares up.

Anyone have any good cures or treatments. Been a couple of months now.


Baton Rouge Somatics

Similar to PT but much more effective & more brain connected. A few sessions, probably only 3-4, and then they teach you the movements you continue to do on a daily/weekly basis to prevent reoccurrence.
Guarantee you will be pain free. No insurance coverage but worth every penny. Worked for me years ago and still working. You will feel much better after one session and know then that it is working.

you got a shot in the bottom of your foot?....man, that makes me fricking cringe just thinking about it.



Dude, I had to get a series of shots in my eyeball. Yeah, the eyeball. It wasn’t as bad as I expected and it fixed my vision problem 100%. You do what you have to do.

Kinesiology tape. Go to YouTube on how to apply it. I had tried everything with no results. Came across KT tape on YouTube and after first taping pain was gone by 90%. Changed my life. Good luck.

Never walk barefoot at all ever. Keep slippers at a minimum by your bed for when you get up. Never wear crocs, flip flops etc. Also for shoes wear hoka's I used to suffer from it but following those rules from a doctor has almost made it go away. When you dont wear good shoes your foot flattens and retears the ligament fibers so grab your toes and pull toward you to stretch when wake up.

My wife had it for months. Finally spent the required amount of time stretching, which is a necessity. But you also need to use a frozen ball or waterbottle to roll around on it.

The only healer is time and dedication unfortunately. Good luck.

I’ve had it for about 8 months now and done extensive internet research. It seems there is no conclusive cure; it’s finding what works for your case.
I have tried: boot brace at night, ice bottle, ice water foot soaks, lacrosse ball rolling, cortisone shot (useless for me), lots of stretches, kuru shoes, prolatus inserts, superfeet inserts, and 800mg ibuprofen 2x per day as well as magnesium supplements. Right now I’d say I’m about 40% better than I was at my worse. But certain days/activities make it scream. I workout at least 3x per week and do specific stretches - hamstring, calf, foot.
I have a hiking trip in Yosemite in June. It would be a blessing if it is gone by then. If not, I will hike through it and ice and ibuprofen it.
All told, it sucks big time. Oh and I’ve tried prayer as well. If it heals, I won’t know what intervention worked. Lol.

Birkenstock shoe insert is your friend. Never go barefoot. Get a cortisone shot in foot.
