Location: stray dump capital of the world | My husband has a bone spur, but initally we thought it was plantar fiscitis. Anyway, he went to a podiatrist who injected the foot. The shot was extremely painful, but it relieved the pain of the bone spur. Can they inject for plantar fiscitis? |

Location: Lost in the corn of Iowa. | I had a boss once that would get PF and she was told to freeze water in a 20 oz soda bottle and then when her foot hurt to roll her foot on it until the pain subsided. She said that it really helped and she could do it anywhere. She just set the frozen bottle on the floor, took her shoe off and rolled her foot over it back and forth. |

Do the inserts make any difference for you? I have tried several with no luck,im on my feet on concrete in steeletoes 8 to 10 hours a day,only a 20 minute break,which i hate to even set down for,because getting back up hurts soooo bad |

They can inject, im trying not to right now, i may have to do so though,the pain is getting unbearable. I have injections in my spine that never worked,so im not sold on this step yet , but not dead set against it either. |

I've had my spine injected and the first one was for my sciatic nerve. It really helped. The other 3 were less effective, so I was sent to a surgeon. He gave me a book about exercises to strengthen the back and that has helped my back tenfold. No surgery and no more injections in the back.
My husband was very pleased with the shot to his foot though he said it hurt like hades. Best of luck to you.

Thanks for the post, appreciate your time! |

| My husband had plantar fasciitis. It was suggested to him that when he is standing still to make sure he was standing aligned and with his weight over his heels. It helped him a lot. |

| I have it. I went to a store called Ideal Feet and bought some custom inserts. They were expensive, $300, but with them I was able to keep exercising despite dr telling me to take 6 months off. Well worth the $$. The only time I now experience any pain is if I go barefoot too much. |

Location: Utah | I have Dr. Scholls inserts for plantar fiscitiitis which help. I always look for shoes with a heel. If my heel is higher than my toes I do okay with shoes. Don't sit with your feet propped on a chair, don't crouch down so your toes are bent. I dealt with this for close to two years before figuring it out and getting some relief. Had a good foot dr but he couldn't tell me these things. If I crouch to boot a horse I do so flat footed. Cowboy boots often have enough heel that they feel good. Don't go barefoot, if I clean house barefoot I will pay for it for days. I don't wear flip flops or cheap sandals.

Oh yes! I have a pair in all of my boots. I think my saving grace is I didn't have to stand on concrete. My standing was out in pastures and/or in horse stalls.

no sitting at a desk for me,im on my feet continuously for 8 to 10 hours a day,my stretches consist of putting my toes on the wall and stretching my foot,and a few others like the lunge position stretch.Its hard to put most of the weight on my heels because they hurt so bad,but i definatly watch my posture as best as i can.I definately cannot go barefoot, as much as I would like to, no way can i do that, i have to put shoes on as soon as i get up,and wear them till i go to bed at night.BUT,im in steeltoe boots for 8 to 10 hours a day,i spend good money on my work boots but they sure are not helping me. Thanks for this,one of the doctors told me heel inserts,but the pain went straight to my back,so im really struggling trying to find a way to get through the work day. Appreciate all of your input, ill give my best shot to work on your help! |

My employer did go buy some stall mats for me,lol,they had no idea what I was talking about when I asked them to please by me stall mats,lol.But we just got the mats two days ago and im WAY into the pain ,so im not sure if it will help heal anything. I looked up the inserts,and i see they also have the stretch type night time splints that my doctor said I will have to use! Im willing to try whatever I can! Thanks for that info!!! |

| I've been wearing ZCoil shoes since 2003 and my PF hasn't bothered since I started wearing them. Until then my feet felt like they were made out of glass and disintegrating the first steps I'd take in the morning or after sitting for a few minutes. I only have to wear the shoes at work to keep the pain under control. You can go online to find a store handling them or buy on line. |
