Plantar fasciitis

I had PF for over 2 years and suffered daily. I finally broke down and bought some New Balance shoes (but made sure the model had the stabilization in that is needed for PF) and stopped being in pain within a couple weeks.

I work retail and stand on concrete for 8 hours a day so I just figured I would suffer the rest of my life. Now I will only wear good quality shoes with lots of support. I didn't need inserts, just good quality shoes.

If you are having constant pain or a lot of pain, definitely see a podiatrist. But something that has worked for me and my husband is really simple - y'know those blue knobby dryer balls? I bought two of them and we roll our feet back and forth over them each night before we go to bed and then again briefly in the morning. It was a little tender at first, but they really solved our issues with PF... Here is a link to one place you can get them (I've also seen them in the fabric softener section at Wal-Mart)
