Plantar Fasciitis: How did you get rid of it?

Hi Molly, I moved your question to this discussion about plantar fasciitis. I did this so you can connect with other members like @loribmt @peggyn @cobweb @auntieoakley @helennicola and others. I, too, have had plantar fasciitis (twice) and posted my experience above. Each time it took months to resolve.
I discussed the problem with my primary care provider and with a physical therapist. Each offered exercises that helped. I think my issue originated from breaking in new running shoes. My PCP is also a runner and she suggested having 2 pairs of runners and alternating. That also seems to help.
How long have you had the sore arch and heel, Molly?

I am late to this discussion but I went to a chiropractor friend of mine who said what I was describing sounded like plantar fasciitis…this was 20 years ago. The heel was really painful for about a month and had never had anything like that before. He gave me a brand name sneaker to wear which I have forgotten . What he suggested was an adjustment to the foot (which he did) and said it may or may not help. One adjustment and I never had heel pain again. The severe pain was gone in the next day or two. Just sharing as a possible solution. He was a dear generous friend who helped so many people and who passed away too soon in life.

my inserts really helped, plus a tennis ball on the floor to roll on. Leaning against a wall and before long i was good. BUT i must keep up the exercise.
