8 Replies

My aunt told me that she was looking into getting a experimental type of electric therapy that actually uses electrical impulses to kill the nerve endings and end pain since the nerve is dead. Has an…

I have suffered 2 years from plantar fascitis with no improvement (from shockwave therapy to night splints to slant boards to corizone injections). I will not have surgery done although also have hee…

Achilles Tendonitis vs. Plantar Fasciitis
7 Replies

I'm pretty sure that I have either plantar fasciitis or achilles tendonitis. My first step in the morning is painful with the pain reducing thereafter, which I know is a classic PF symptom. However,…

Frustrating heel pain
24 Replies

I know they say plantar fasciitis does not happen over night and it is the tearing of the tendon. My heel pain did happen over night. I do a lot of standing all day. 5-6 hours at work, I am a teacher…

I've been a barefoot runner for 3 years and I never had any problems until last September. I did some reasearch on heal pain and found this site. I'm feeling pain in that area in front of the heal bone and the symptoms describe in this site. GLAD I…

IDEAL FEET arch trainers have totally gotten rid of my plantar fascitis, as long as I am wearing them. I can run, jump, and work for 10-12 hours straight on my feet (I am a chef) with NO pain. When I take them off and walk barefoot, my foot hurts ag…

I went to see an orthopaedic surgeon and he recommended a few things: 1) foot splint to wear at night or when sitting for long periods of time (I work at a desk) 2) Dr. Scholl's insoles -- the kind with a little 'donut' in the heel to provide paddin…

I am a chef, so I am on my feet for 7-12 hours at a time, with no sitting. I tried the Spenco arch supports that Jan from Canada recommended. They did not work for me, maybe since I have fallen arches. I went back to the arch trainers that worked ma…

Personally, my PF hurts all day, regardless if I'm on my feet all day. The only thing that helps that is when I get the cortisone injections. Of course, it's worse after I'm idle for awhile, but it tends to be there all day to some degree.

Hi there, I am new to this forum and I have just been recently diagnosed with plantar fasciitis myself. I have it my left foot and the pain is in the heel and part of the arch. My Doctor told me about something called a Spenco arch support. They fit…

I broke 3 bones in my ankle and turned my foot sideways in August 2010. The bones have healed but recently I am having pain in my heel and suspect plantar fasciitis. Is this likely?

Orthotist replied to Organization Volunteer's discussion 'Achilles Tendonitis vs. Plantar Fasciitis'
The location is the main way of determining which one it is. Achilles tendonitis generally occurs ABOVE the calcaneus. (Heel bone) If there is a thickening (compare to other leg) in the Achilles tendon itself then it is absolutely Achilles Tendonit…

Thru x rays and an mri, it was determined that I have P.F. and A.T. I got a cortisone shot because the inserts did not help. There is no improvement yet, but I am told it will take time. I bought a night splint today and am going to try it tonite. M…

I have read the posts here and hope that I have been lucky enough to find a good doctor. How do you explain to a 6 year old that mommy can't pick him up, can't run with him, can't wrestle with him, and can't play much? Beyond my own physical discomf…
