I’m hoping the collective knowledge and experience of PFM might be able to help me.
I caused it during furlough, too much running and walking. A podiatrist and NHS scan confirmed it is plantar fasciitis. The pain is focussed on a point a third of the way from my heel to the ball of my left foot, in the arch. All of the usual remedies have been tried:
Night splint, daily foot and calf stretching, calf strengthening, foot roller, raised arch insoles (SuperGreen , not custom made orthotics). My weight is normal, 79kg at 5’10. I walk everywhere in well padded running shoes and never run anymore.
I have tried to reduce the amount of walking, but still do about 2 miles on Saturday and Sunday and about ½ mile on week days.
I haven’t been taking any medications to control pain or swelling.
The pain is slight on a morning but develops as I walk. The GP is suggesting steroid injections.
My objective is not pain management, its cure. Am I missing something? Have you had any similar experience and found a recipe for cure?
