UGH!!! Spent most of last summer dealing with that bstrd. And here is my advice. The boot worked wonders as did the Strassberg sock I slept in one or the other for 6 months possibly more. You get used to sleeping in it and deffo keep using it well after the heel stops feeling like someone is stabbing you with a dull serated knife. I did get some Super Feet insoles and I don't know if they help or not but I'm pain free most of this year now and really not inclined to stop using the insoles. Ice, stretching, and I have a nifty spiney ball I roll my foot with and occasionally nail Annino with.
In 2003, I talked with Anthony Fossa at the Blessing OTF 10-miler about my PF. He recommended inserts. I got Superfeet. They worked for me too. Whatever you wind up doing, rest assured you will beat PF eventually. Be patient, work through it, you're gonna be fine!
Sucks dude. I hope you have a quick recovery.
ReplyDeleteThat's no good...I assume you already got it checked out? What's the recovery time for that, anyway?
ReplyDeletePlantar fasciitis is the worst. I HIGHLY recommend a pair of Orthaheel inserts. They worked wonders for my PF.
