    I have had occasional bouts, which I always managed to get rid of within a month or so. Last time, I was given off the shelf arch supports, and prescribed caff stretches. The calf stretches involved placing the edge of the cutting board on a phonebook, and standing with your toes raised for five minutes at a time a couple of times a day, I set this up in front of the wash basin for when I brushed my teeth, etc.

    I think the stretching is key for me, along with rest from running or walking for exercise. Then, when things get out of control, I need the shot (3 times in my life and I am 41). It is doing much better. I have laid off of it exercise-wise since Nov 12th and have been enjoying swimming! I have great shoes and orthotics as well as a night splint. Yesterday I got that ingrown toenail surgery on the same foot! I call it "the saddest little foot ever" to my boys. It will get better!

    My sister's doc told her to never walk around without shoes on or shoes with adequate support. Absolutely no flip flops and no bare-feet, even around the house.

    I agree with your sister's doc. Thanks for mentioning that; it really helps! !!
