Hi Jillie, I moved your question to this existing discussion about plantar faciitis.
- Plantar Fasciitis: How did you get rid of it? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/plantar-fasciitis-1/

I did this so you can continue to connect with @jenniferhunter and other members like @peggyn @cobweb @Erinmfs @tsc @artist01 @imallears @suziet @alive @lynnelliott7 and others who have suggested things that help.

Jillie, what kind of pain do you have? What activity have you been doing lately?

@jilliemo12345 Hi Jillian. I had severe Plantar Faciitis in both feet several years ago and tried so many things - physio , massage, chiropractor, etc. I finally went to a podiatrist and had computerized testing done as I walked on the test mat, and custom orthotics were made for me based on those results. I had immediate relief as I transferred my orthotics to each pair of shoes I wore. The price might scare you, but it's worth every penny! No surgery needed, no expensive physio, no chiropractor or massage therapist anymore. I resumed my love for hiking and I've never had that problem since. Good luck. Warm regards, Laurie

Hi @jilliemo12345, custom orthotics only fit into my walking shoes so I used arch supports in my work shoes - usually a low heel during the day. At night, I used Thermoskin PlantarFXT to stretch the Plantar Fascia. I stopped using them a couple of years ago, but just resumed use because I felt some pain in my heel. It's resolved, but I am still using them as I don't what a recurrence. I hope this helps.

Hi, the pain I have in after sitting or after getting up in the morning. My heel hurts for the first steps. The back of my heel is swollen and sensitive to touch.I cannot wear a closed shoe
I was wondering if other RA patients have experienced this.
Comments appreciated. Jilly
