Plantar Fasciitis
Anybody have or had this? I'm baffled. I have tried every sock, compression sock, arch support with little to no relief.
Do I really have to stay off of my foot in order for it to heal?
I'm convinced it's my gait that has brought this on. I overcompensate for my left leg/foot and my right one is now paying the price.
I'm so tired of trying things only to find that they don't work nearly as well as the reviews make you believe they do. The only thing that has given me even five minutes of relief are Salonpas. Those things are great.
I had this before the summer and even had an xray taken of my foot to rule out any fractures. There were none and the ER doctor said it was probably spasticity that has caused the tendon to become enflamed. It sort of went away on it's own but has come back with a vengeance.
Has anyone else dealt with this and what did you do to get any relief?
