Hello everyone I joined this chat because I honestly have no idea where to go anymore. I’ve been to 2 different podiatrist. They both say that I have plantar fasciitis. I’ve had Cortizone injections on both of my feet. I went to physical therapy for two weeks. I wore night splint for two months and I’ve done the frozen water bottle trick along with the lacrosse ball, etc. and for some reason, nothing is working so I just went to an orthopedic and he gave me a couple shots. Three weeks later my pain is back. I am not understanding what’s happening, but I do not think I have plantar fasciitis and I did an MRI and I don’t think that says it was plantar fasciitis. I think it says it’s a bone spur however, my orthopedic doctor refuses to accept bone spur. Is there anything I can do to fix this? This has been going on since last October.

I’m sure the smart people in this group can figure out I’m REPOSTING this article from Dr. Angela, and NOT claiming I wrote it myself. The Problem with Hokas One of the most common questions I get on YouTube and social media is: "Why don't you recommend HOKAs or Brooks like so many other foot specialists do?" Well, it isn't about the brand. It's about the features. Many of the popular "supportive" shoes share several characteristics that can change how your feet function over time: 👉 A tapered toe box that restricts your toes from spreading naturally. 👉 Thick cushioning and excessive support that can reduce the amount of work your foot muscles do. 👉 And perhaps most importantly... heel elevation. Most supportive shoes have a heel that's 5–8 mm higher than the forefoot, while some reach 10–12 mm. That might not sound like much, but it can have a surprising impact on your movement. Over time, a raised heel in footwear can: ➡️ Increase pressure on the ball of your foot, contributing to conditions like metatarsalgia or Morton's neuroma. ➡️ Keep your calves and Achilles tendon in a shortened position. ➡️ Limit ankle dorsiflexion, the ability of your knee to move over your foot while walking. That last point is the one I care about most. When your ankle loses dorsiflexion, your body has to compensate. One of the most common compensations is excessive pronation, which places additional strain on the plantar fascia. I saw this firsthand while playing pickleball recently. A friend mentioned that his knees had been bothering him and he was having trouble moving around the court. He told me he was being treated for Achilles tendinitis and that his physical therapist had placed heel lifts in his shoes. Heel lifts can absolutely be helpful as a temporary treatment to reduce stress on an irritated Achilles. But then I looked at his shoes. They already had about 8 mm of heel elevation. With the heel lifts added, he was walking around with nearly 15 mm of heel elevation. It's no surprise his mechanics had changed and his knees were starting to complain. This is exactly why my recovery approach focuses on restoring normal foot function, including improving ankle dorsiflexion, instead of simply adding more support. It's also one of the biggest reasons I recommend zero-drop footwear for people recovering from plantar fasciitis. There really is a method to my madness 😄 If you're looking for shoes that better support healthy foot function, I've made it easy. 👉 Browse my Approved Shoe List for my top recommendations. 👉 Or visit my Amazon Storefront to see the shoes and foot health products I personally recommend.

Anyone have the procedure called TenJetHydrocisiom done to eliminate PF pain? Description below: The TenJet procedure is a minimally invasive treatment for chronic plantar fasciitis. It uses high-velocity saline to remove diseased tissue, promoting faster recovery compared to traditional surgery. The procedure is performed under ultrasound guidance and typically takes about 15 TenJet procedure involves several steps: Ultrasound Guidance: The procedure is performed under ultrasound guidance to visualize the diseased tissue and the positioning of the TenJet device. Anesthesia: Local anesthetic is administered to the affected area to minimize discomfort. Incision: A small stab incision is made to create a pathway for the TenJet device. Debridement: The TenJet device is guided to the diseased tissue, and high-velocity saline is used to debride and evacuate the damaged tissue. Post-operative Care: Steri-strips are placed over the incision, and the patient can be discharged. Post-operative care may include a walking boot and physical therapy. The TenJet procedure offers several advantages: Minimally Invasive: It is a minimally invasive procedure, resulting in less pain and faster recovery compared to traditional surgery. Outpatient Procedure: The procedure can be performed in an outpatient setting. Faster Recovery: Patients typically experience relief within the first two weeks of the post-operative period. You can watch utube videos of procedure.

My podiatrist put me in a CAM boot for a suspected small tear in my plantar fascia for 3 weeks. I just got my boot Friday. I feel like my pain is worse since wearing the boot. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

These shoes @xeroshoes have been my secret weapon to conquering my 2 year recovery. Zero drop and it took some getting use to but my feet are stronger than ever and pain FREE.
May be an image of shoes and text that says 'N'. May be an image of shoes and text that says 'XEROSHOES AERONGE OSHOES'
