So after 1 year and 1 month my foot is still killing me. Some days worse that others. So at this point is it “ just the way it is”? Now I am just considered chronic. I never in my life had something bother me this long. I usually heal quickly or I react to treatments fairly quick. Shared post Wilma Miller Hi ! I hate this ,i never get any respite from it ,i have spent a fortune on various shoes & insoles . Shared post Vito Rullo 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 am post injection (second round in April, first was in 2023) in bilateral heels. My pain is predominantly gone, but what running shoes have you all transitioned to after it has resolved? I was wearing Altras then transitioned to NB 1080s. I’d like to go back to Altras but am open to other brands! Shared post Julia Elizabeth I just purchased “On: Cloudrunner 3” sneakers, and orthotics, at a specialty running store.  Anyone have luck with this brand?  I found them to be the most comfortable in the store yesterday. I am also wearing oofos slippers inside and outside too. They are wonderful Shared post Billy Sheehy Has anyone got a really proper treatment for pf Shared post Linda Byram 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.

I walk 30-40 minutes 5 days a week. I looked up recommendations online and it came up with Hoka Bondi but holy those are $175! What do you wear and live for long walks?
