Do I have to give up exercising and running in order for it to heal, or can I work through it? I really don't want to stop exercising!

    Go get spenco shoe inserts they have them at Academy. Your heal needs to be higher than your toes Never let your feet touch the ground without the proper shoes on. Freeze water in a 20oz bottle of water. Perform plantar stretches daily
    This is how I beat it with advice from my podiatrist

    You will need to rest it up until it's gotten better, otherwise it will get worse (speaking form experience, here!) Then follow the advice above with the frozen bottle of water, and make sure you go and get some new running shoes (if you haven't already). Made a big difference for me :)
