For several years, I had severe heal pain. When getting out of bed in the morning, I could hardly walk. Finally saw a Podiatrist. She said I had Plantar Faciatis and gave me a cortisone shot which immediately helped. She also gave me a pair of special inserts (POWERSTEP PRO) to put inside my shoe (tennis shoes). She said to wear good tennis shoes. Both helped, but since then, I have been using the inserts called Walk-Fit and they are AWESOME! They align your entire body.
She also told me that surgeryseldom works and takes a long time to heal.
I have been doing a stretch that has also helped a lot....sit in a regular chair and put your feet flat against a wall and keep them flat on the wall for several minutes. Do this several times a day. It sure helped me!
