By the way i often joke that if i had this in both feet i would have to be on disability because the pain is too intense. I joke so i don't cry. I work 2 jobs and both of them i am on my feet. Happily on both of them i am permitted to sit if i…

Well i have had this problem for about 3 years now and just learned what is was. My whole family thought i was lying until one by one they would see me get up from sitting too long or walking too long or just getting out of bed in the morning and…

Nobody can ever imagine unless that have this dreaded "thing" how painful and debilitating this is. I have it in both feet - will be 3 years this summer. I have tried everything and spent thousands of dollars on everything - except surgery…

I don't think you are oversensitive to the pain. It is very painful! I have had it for 10 years. After many proceedures, I think I have come to the realization that I may have to alter my life style. Which means sitting down when I need to and…

I feel you Kittima. At times the pain is so dibilitating I just go to bed. I have an extremely supportive husband thank goodness.

how to live with the pain?

had another exacerbation of pain last nite after driving in a traffic jam and on my feet for about 3 hours.  kind of phobic to even walk or stand.   i am getting impatient for having to live with this pain.  i was told to learn to live with it.  i tried in the last 3 weeks, it didn't work out the way i wanted.  with the current attack, life seems so dull to me.  does that mean that i can no longer enjoy a walk in the garden, a stroll in the mall or a cruise in the town?  does anyone have any…See More

Kittima replied to Organization Volunteer's discussion 'Reflexology as a treatment for plantar fascitis'
hope it is not too late for this post. i suffered for close to a year. tried everything conservative like you. tried foot reflex too. it does help to some extent as it stretches your fascia and also offer some form of pain relief. however, it wont…

Kittima replied to Joseph's discussion 'Importance of calf flexibility'
Calf stretching is one of the most important treatment for PF. i did mine for 5 months diligently though. so far my PF is still there but with exacerbations during strenous activities as my job involves lots of standing and walking. do not expect…

Kittima replied to Organization Volunteer's discussion 'PF that doesn't go away'
hi, try not to take cortisone shot, it is not a good choice, it masks the pain and yet can inhibit the inflammatory process much needed for the recovery process. in fact, drs are looking at ways to induce inflammation at the site in order to…

Hi Kittama You really have my sympathy. I have suffered for about 8 years and just like you have tried everything, except surgery. It will be a final resort. I would like to hear from anyone that has had surgery, if it has been worth it, and if…

Hi! While I don't have a remedy for you I can say that you are not alone. I was on my feet all day yesterday and am paying for it today. I have had this for ten years. I have had just about every treatment surgery done and am still in pain. And…
