Hello all, im a 32 yr old active male. I was diagnosed with Plantar Fascitis about 5 years ago in both feet. Well ive been to 3 different foot doctors,3 different sets of orthotics thru this ongoing condition. Have had 3 cortizone shots per foot, 3 sets of physical therapy, numerous anti inflam presicriptions etc... etc... etc.... I took 6 months off work to try and alievate this problem with no luck,cure,or even a slight sign of heeling. Today Im still active in work, sporting activities and playing with my kids but I pay for it later. My pain is there in the morning and gets alot waorse with standing throughout the day. My body weight is not an issue. Has anyone had ANY luck with different types of remedies for this Problem? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Yes ive been searching,downloading,stretching and buying every thing made for this condition with no help.

hey Mike...

I also have this and it does seem to get worse at night or if I have been standing for a very long time. I got tired of spending money on things that didn't work too and a pharmacist at Wal~Mart suggested an insole made for plantar fascitis and it really worked...better than the ones I had a prescription for and they were only like $6 and change. I thought to be so cheap they wouldn't work but they do. Just a suggestion to try them. They are put out by dr. scholls and have on the package that they are for Plantar Fascitis. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply mrs_jenjen. I have tried every off the shelf insole from gellin to work soft insoles all of Dr. scholls products. Im on my 3rd set of custom orthotics now. about 3 months and no improvement what-so-ever. Ive noticed in the last 4 months that the top part of my shin on both legs(where it meets the knee) is very tender and feels like a deep bruise in the bone for some reason. Im over $2000 out of pocket now for JUST orthotics and over $7000 in total bills thru foot doctors and no light at the end of the tunnel. I also bought a Ultrasound home device with no relief. The last foot doc put a couple small pads on otside of both heels,, wrapped my arch and toes. well 2 hours later after walking thru Meijer I had felt like 70% of the pain was gone. If his office was open I would have went back and hugged him lol. That was the first sign of heeling in 5 years with minor pain for me and I thought I found THE MAN to cure my condition, NOPE 4 months down the road and the new orthotics are a waste of money yet again

Plantar fascities

I have been dealing with Plantar fascities for about 3 years now. I am a waitress and I am in alot of pain all the time I also have tried orthotics, cortisone shots. I also had surgery in one of my feet and it made the situation alot worst. I started going to a neurolgist because I was online one day and saw that they do botoxs injections for plantar fascities so I have tried them they have helped a little bit.
