    Ouch! I’ve just recently recovered from plantar fasciitis. I started getting symptoms last September. I tried the exercises, frozen water bottle, otc orthotics and nothing worked for months. Finally went to my primary care Dr who sent me to a podiatrist. After pill form of anti inflammatory for 3 weeks and little relief, I had one cortisone injection. Finally I have relief. I can’t believe it took from September to June to get relief. The pain is excruciating. You really can’t imagine how bad it is until you’re living with it. Thank god for podiatrists!!! ❤️

    I was diagnosed with this in both feet in my late 40s, then also had Morton’s neuroma, metatarsalgia and arthritis. I wore custom orthotics for about 5 years, then Birkenstocks about 6 or 7 years. I since switched to zero drop foot shaped shoes (on the advice of my sport’s medicine dr.) stretched out and separated my toes and am now symptom free. I spend most of my time barefoot, wear flip-flops all summer and Altra’s all year round when I have to wear shoes. I roll my feet out with a golf ball during the occasional flareup (once a year or thereabouts). I am now 70

    I had it about 35 years ago when I was on my feet all day during my time in our main downtown library. I wore sling back lower heel shoes for "comfort" but the sling backs set off the heel inflammation. Luckily changing my footwear to regular closed shoes was enough to help the healing process, thank goodness. I dreaded going to work every day, it's very painful.

Since buying my first pair I've never had pain again unless I was home in bare feet too much. I have always slept with my feet off the end of my bed so that was never an issue. Tried all these things you mentioned and none helped till I bought CROCS.

After several years of a sedentary lifestyle, I've recently recommitted to walking everyday. Sometimes around the block but mostly on the treadmill due to weather. My plantar fasciitis has come back. I just ordered a new pair of shoes, fingers crossed. I'm not going to give up walking again, I've already seen the benefits, minus the heel pain.

    I was first diagnosed with PF in 1994. I was treated with anti-inflammatories and fitted with custom orthotics (which were made really good back then - I still have them). It took several weeks for inflammation to go down, but with wearing the orthotics religiously, I didn’t suffer another flare-up until 2020. Yep, staying home and spending my days barefoot or in house slippers the first year of the pandemic (totally forgetting about my orthotics for 6-8 months) caused the pain to recur after all those years! Back to the podiatrist; treatment of better, more supportive footwear (he recommended Hoka One One shoes), anti inflammatory meds, new custom orthotics … and eventually, corticosteroid injections. That was about 24 months ago, and I had to get a 2nd injection in one foot. I’m very consistent about wearing my orthotics now, and put my still usable 1994 orthotics in my slippers. No serious foot pain since then. PF is absolutely no joke. 😢.

Yes, it's a very hard life, but I'm still working 6 days a week, about 12 to qm14 hours a day. My doctor referred me today for an x-ray and ultrasound, both feet for comparison. Hopefully, that can help diagnose then treatment .unfortunately, not working hard is not an option for now. The pain and the burning sensation are very uncomfortable.

Went to the running store and picked up a high quality orthotic with metatarsal and arch support. A good quality cushioned shoe can make walking more comfy.

    I was originally admitted to Hospital on a false diagnosis of knee infection after a total knee replacement in Lithuania. Microbiology never found anything in the aspiration and wash out of the knee the Poole Hospital consultants took. I have the reports. I may or may not have had Planter Fasciitis. Or it could have been crystals forming in my foot. I have had it in both. The last time in Poole Hospital with quite a few consultants around. Let's say a nurse gave the diagnosis of Planter Fasciitis. Listening to your video I am almost certain I have not. I cleared it up with ice packs on the bottom of the foot and top. There is a dedicated "sock" with pockets to hold the ice packs. The consultants were not very good in Poole Hospital I spent 2 weeks on IV antibiotics then 6 weeks on oral antibiotics. for a non existence left knee infection. For the 8 weeks my CRP went up and down. On returning to Hospital for a final appointment I mentioned to a junior consultant that the antibiotics were not working as my CRP was going up and down. With this I was given another blood test and readmited again (CRP was 180)_ I was on crutches barely able to walk. I was the diagnosed with CPPD and prescribed colchicine. Took one tablet on returning home the following morning I woke up in no pain.. I still had the pain in my groin I originally consulted the Doctors about. My normal GP gave me blood test and told me it was 99.99% not cancer and informed me it was a muscle strain. I consulted a second GP in my practice who x-rayed my hips and informed me my hips were fine. Then told me it was a muscle strain. 2nd GP also informed me to stop taking Pantoprazole as this could cause joint pain. Then told me to go away. I saw a out of hours GP in Poole Hospital who told me I had a "Hernia" and returned me to my GP. I saw a 3rd GP in my practice who was unsure!! and prescribed a ultrasound scan. I also saw a Private Consultant General surgeon. £150. The Ultrasound scan and the private General surgeon stated I had a hernia. Which I am going to have fixed privately on the 11th July. Coast £4K. Considering the hernia on the other side was diagnosed by a nurse I have a poor opinion of these GPs. And I had grown sensitive to Pantoprazole. On the information sheet size 18" by 30" filled with 2 mm font on the back side left hand column it states may cause joint pain. If it affects your walking consult your Doctor. I am now feeling a lot better with a little joint pain in my big toe right foot and index finger main joint.

    I’ve been fighting with plantar fasciitis in both feet for well over a decade. Went to several podiatrist looking for relief or a a fix, with little to no relief. What did, does work for me was going to the Good Feet Store and using their arch supports. Stretching, and wearing good well supportive shoes with the arch supports have all helped. The arch supports make it bearable for me to walk, but the pain never completely goes away, but it’s manageable. Stretching before I go to sleep and before I get out bed greatly helps.

Not consistent enough with reliefs or just doing the wrong things possibly yet I spent time with physical therapy and bought the little blue circle for rolling forward and back to use at home. ....the journey continues

    I had extremely painful plantar fasciitis 20 years ago, my doctor suggested I try wearing SuperFeet insoles (green at the time) before paying for custom orthotics, stop wearing slip on shoes as well. Within a week the pain subsided substantially and was able to walk somewhat normally. Since then I've put Superfeet in all my shoes and have not had a reoccurrence. I'm so glad that worked for me.

    I have always been flat footed. As a child I wore supportive shoes (Oxfords) fitted with arch supports. In my 40s, after years of wearing "cute" shoes, this problem flared up. It remained with me for a number of years. It was so disabling! As an educator, I was on my feet a great deal and was often in tears by the end of the day. I went through almost all the non-invasive treatments discussed in the video, including orthotics, night splints, massage at home, injections (excruciating and traumatizing!) and physical therapy. One day after many sessions of PT, an intern worked on my foot. It was like a MIRACLE! Immediately, the pain stopped and never came back! I've ditched the orthotics since then and haven't had a problem in 20 years. My shoes of preference are sneakers with a good sole and stable heel. I wear them 99.9% of the time. It seems that I'm back to "square one"! I can hear my parents saying, "I told you so!" 😊

    Thanks for the advise gentlemen. I just started having an issue on my left foot and it's no joke, It's exactly as you describe. My wife had this about a year ago and I thought she was just being a baby, crow doesn't taste so good it turns out. I'm stretching, icing, and using an anti inflammatory cream so hopefully that works. Just out of curiosity do you see a higher correlation between this and bunions? They both seem to be a tendon out of whack situation.

This simple stretch has not completely made my plantar fasciitis go away, but it's helped greatly.

    I reversed my liver enzymes by not eating after 4 or 5pm. No sugar. Tossing veggies in extra virgin olive oil or coconut oils and real butter only then roasting them with seasonings. Bacon grease is great for liver to cook with also. Crazy. Dont eat till at least 9 or 10am next day. Boiled eggs. Bacon no bread. Keto diet works well with reducing enzymes. That fasting and not laying down with a lot of food going through liver. Liver has to work OVER when sleeping with a lot of food in you. It took 6 months. Lost 25pds also!!!!

    Funny this video came up today... I have had pain in my heel since January 2023... I went to my GP for a routine check in March, I told her I think I had Plantar Fasciitis... She agreed (without examining) and told me a few things I could do... I still have pain 24/7 and I have an appointment with my Podiatrist tomorrow... I work on concrete floors for both of my jobs... I go up roughly 50 stairs everyday at work... I am hoping to get some relief... However, it doesn't sound promising... Plus I had a cortisone shot in my knee in April... So not sure I can get another one in a different location before 3 months... That was my very first cortisone shot... I did research it but did not realize the complications until I saw this video... A little leary now, lol 🙏 ... Hopefully I can at least get inserts... Not sure... Thank you to all 3 of you for the informative video!... It is truly appropriated... God Bless All... 🙏
