Rehab question. I developed PF about 7 months ago and didn't take it seriously enough at first reading that it often goes away with a bit of rest. It did get a bit better and then came back with vengence a month ago. I have been doing just about everything the evidence tells me, and more amazing tips from this group, to knock it back. Daily streching, load strengthening with a variety of exercises, calf massaging and mainly Birkenstocks with the occasional Hoka and PF inserts for long walks which I have to do. I also have some knock off Koprez socks which seem to help a bit. I have just started supplements and am about to try cupping. I'm looking for a kitchen sink to throw at it next... :) Over the last two weeks, it has gotten progressively better. Stiff in the morning but walkable in the Birks. It definitely still hurts thoughout the day, especially when I sit for awhile, but IS getting better. The pain is still sharp under the heel on the interior side of my body though, especially when I put pressure on it. Can anyone provide perspective on their healing journey that is similar to mine? How long and what else is beneficial? Many thanks and positive thoughts to all of you out there! Step by step. Rehab question.

Shared post Natasha Guthrie Has anyone found anything new that helps Shared post Annette Pineiro So what sneakers have you guys found helpful for PF. Learning my Hokas are bot the best option. Shared post Susie Burleson I was finally diagnosed as "Plantar Facial Fibromatosis" by a Pediotrist after 6 months of pain. I truly have researched everything i could find on the internet and tried almost everything you can imagine as far as creams and shoes just to get relief. I finally purchased an ankle wrap from Amazon a week ago and decided to wear it 24/7 for 3 months. Also mixed my own essential oils for pain and inflammation. After 3 days I'm already getting relief. I also never go barefoot as it just kills me so Im in shoes whether its Hoka tennis shoes with inserts or Hoka flip flops. I realize we all are different and this may not help everyone but if your like me...what does it hurt to try another method just in case. My essential oil recipe is very simple. I got a large glass roller and put equal parts of the following: wintergreen, Frankincense, almond oil. You can also add eucalyptus but I didn't have any. Also I will put a picture of the ankle wrap from Amazon. Hope this helps!! I was finally diagnosed as "Plantar Facial Fibromatosis" by a Pediotrist after 6 months of pain.

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
