Plantar Fasciitis: How did you get rid of it?

I am surprised that wearing orthotic inserts in your shoes has not been mentioned. Years ago you had to get them custom made and they cost a lot - not always covered by insurance. Now, however, the foot doctor's office has premade orthotics that are specific to your foot problem. There are also different types for different shoes - I have two kinds, a larger one for athletic shoes, and a smaller version for dressier shoes. They only cost about $50 per pair, and for me are more than worth the investment.

Hello Nurse Fran:

Thank you for your helpful response. Much appreciated.
Since I've had this problem for over ten years now, you can be assured that I have bought and tried Orthotics, both from my Podiatrist and Dr. Scholl's from CVS, which supposedly found the PERFECT Size after I stood barefoot on one of their machines.
All worked to some degree, but didn't alleviate the issue.
Currently limping around after another strong flare-up, so now wondering if surgery is the best solution to end all of this, or will surgery only condemn me to many more years of pain.
Thank you.
