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
36 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…

Mary replied to Organization Volunteer's discussion 'PF that doesn't go away'
I cannot walk that much either (200 to 400 steps at a time, often only once a day) and I believe this routine and the other leg and foot exercises are doubly important to slow down the shortening and stiffening of the fascia and foot tendons that oc…

Hi Mary, I have no idea what the Epson salt is for. I just add it to the water because the doctor said to use it. I assume it's to keep my foot odor down. From the look on his face when he told me to use Epson salt I can only assume that's what it'…

To everyone reading this thread: I don't know why, but I've found something that "helps" alleviate the pain a little and makes it so that I can stand and walk more often than before. My doctor advised me to soak my feet in hot water for at least 20…

Lisa replied to Organization Volunteer's discussion 'PF that doesn't go away'
Sounds like you've done just about everything possible, except for surgery. My podiatrist has given me 2 cortisone shots (did nothing for me), gave me orthotics (don't fit in all of my shoes), and I now have a night splint. I'm not sure where we'll…
