Staying Motivated for the Long Haul

Plantar Fasciitis has tried to get me down. I have been enduring the increasing pain and trying the home remedies. Today I had an appointment, and that confirmed what I had self diagnosed already.
Tomorrow, with the addition of foot stretches and shoe support, I will be back at the gym that I have been avoiding. Tonight I will try to sleep with a foot brace to facilitate a passive tendon stretch while I sleep. No anti inflamitiries, though because I'm a transplant recipient.

Has anybody had plantar fasciitis? How did it affect your long term fitness goals? I welcome any helpful hints.

@rosemarya my husband has it. The stretches and arch supports in his shoes do wonders. Rolling a bottle of frozen water with his foot helps, too.

@rosemarya My sister had plantar fasciitis. She did some exercises for it if I recall, and went to a great shoe store that is familiar with all types of problems to get some helpful shoes. It did go away and she has not had a problem in a number of years now, and walks a mile or two a day.
