Plantar Fasciitis: How did you get rid of it?

Hi Molly, I have had varying degrees of this for a couple years. My podiatrist said the hallmark is when it hurts after being off of it, then after about 5 minutes it kinda stops hurting. I am sorry to hear you might have this. Most of the people I know have gotten rid of it with stretching and rest. I do it all and sometimes it is better and sometimes it gets worse. This is probably due to the birth defect in my feet, and the resulting bone removals. I find taping, icing, and stretching it get better, but the peak gel inserts really help for daily barn chores. Have you seen a doctor yet? How long have you been hurting?

I think mine started when I was walking long distances in inexpensive shoes. I won't post the brand name, they were athletic brand, but inexpensive, and my heel started hurting, and has hurt on and off ever since. That was several years ago. Recently, my orthopedic shoes are getting older, I wonder if I'm walking alot and my shoes are worn out? As a child I wore arch supports, I'm guessing I have flatter feet than other people. Perhaps a doctor visit is needed?
