    I got rid of my PF by stretching the foot (toes to shin) before I even got out of bed in the morning. This is essential. Stretch frequently during the day too.

    I have a similar routine of morning stretching that has relieved *all* symptoms of PF for me. It takes me only 2 minutes a day. It took about 2 weeks of this routine for complete relief.

    I think it's important that the stretching shouldn't hurt at all.

    This does not apply to PF with heel spur, which a doctor should evaluate.

    Don't have it anymore but when I did the Dr. told me to wear good tennis shoes from the time I got up till bed time and when I did take them off to roll my sore foot on a frozen water bottle to soothe it. It must have worked. Hope that helps you :)

    I did the frozen water bottle thing too.

    I had it! Mine was so bad I was using those little power scooter things at the grocery store... at 20 years old. I was in tears at the end of a 3 hour shift at the record store.

    I went from 250 to 215 in one semester and it COMPLETELY disappeared. What brought me relief was keeping a tennis ball in the freezer, and rolling my feet over it when I got home. Then I'd leave it by the bed and do it first thing in the morning. It will disappear with the weight.. and you will get your life back!

    Wow, wasn't expecting such a response! Thanks for all the advice. I am going to take some of your recommendations and try some different things. Here's hoping. :smile:
