Hiya My husband had this a few years back. The only thing that eventually worked is first thing in the morning before you get up you need to relieve the inflammation by rolling a frozen can wrapped in a tea towel (otherwise you'll get freezer burn lol) along the instep of your foot for a few minutes. We used a can of peas which we kept in the freezer overnight and then put back after using. It helps if someone else can get it out of the freezer for you so you can use it before you actually put your foot on the ground. Hope this help

First off you have to figure out why your getting plantar fasciitis is it the type of shoe your wearing or doing an activity without taking proper rest days or is it possible you developed a type of arthritis in your feet … I have psoriatic arthritis and YES it attacks my feet (tendons).

Lotions and potions are ok but they don’t address the underlying problems and you should stretch out your feet before getting out of bed.

I am on my feet for nearly 10 hours a day.

Batty1 in reply toLonely3190

What type of shoe do you wear for the 10 hour a day job and do you replace them every few months? Shoes aren’t meant to be worn forever even months and have you ever tried to see a foot doctor maybe you need orthotics?

Lonely3190 profile image
Lonely3190 in reply toBatty1

I wear walking shoes. And I so replace them every few months. I am waiting to have some injections in my feet for it.

Batty1 in reply toLonely3190

Injections? Having cortisone injections in tendons is a risky venture and podiatrist don’t seem to inform patients of the risk…. It could damage your tendons in feet !

He said it will hurt a lot for few seconds and then it will go.

Batty1 profile image
Batty1 in reply toLonely3190

Of course it will hurt but has he told you the potential risk of injecting cortisone into a tendon? Obviously he hasn’t!

I suffered from this many years back. When I got up first thing in the morning, I almost had to crawl to go to the bathroom. First step: Go see a podiatrist. I was fitted for an orthotic - you may have to get a good pair of runners (like Asics) and remove their insole, replacing it with your orthotic. Then get a Strassburg sock. You wear it to bed - it pulls your toes towards you. Between these two, my plantar fasciitis was cured.

It can hurt. You need to make sure you never walk around barefooted and that your shoes offer good support and always use an insert in your shoes. Remember flat = pain.

Lonely3190 profile image
Lonely3190 in reply toAmkoffee

I have made sure of these two.

Yes.. Had it in and off for years. Decent footwear usually helps. I never walk barefoot. Always wearing indoor or outdoor wear with cushioning and arch support. Good footwear generally costs.. annoying but it really can help either reduce pain or even shake it off.

I only switched onto this properly more recently. Maybe if I had early I may have saved a lot of pain.

It took a while to find a good indoor shoe/slipper but I’ve found one! For men and women. If you want details please let me know..

Hi JonnyB I know this is from 3 months ago...but if you are around can you tell me what indoor slipper you managed to find...that would really be very helpful...many tx

jonnyb in reply totaichi1

Hello,Of course..

The ones I found aren’t called slippers but I use them as slippers.

They are made by a company called Oofos. Not cheap but I think they are worth it. I’ve just walked around London in my outdoor clog version.

I hope you get on with them as well as I have.

I got plantar fasciitis. Doctor told me to roll my instep on a rolling pin or something similar when I was sitting & stretch my foot by putting my toes on the skirting board & push against it streching the ligaments under my foot. It worked. If I get a twinge now I just follow her advice. Hope this helps. There is info' on the net' that will help.

Did you get tingling/burning sensation in your toes?

Muglow profile image
Muglow in reply toLonely3190

Sorry,I can't remember. It's quite a few years ago now. I remember I was amazed that it worked. I used to spend hours walking around on concrete floors at work & that's what caused it.

Muglow in reply toLonely3190

I also got some arch support inersoles for my shoes which also helped. I feel your pain. It was agony to keep walking at work until I kept doing the exercises the doctor recommend.

Lonely3190 in reply toMuglow

I was told by my doctor, that he will be putting injections into my feet.
