Minor plantar fasciitis

My doc I guess you could say "diagnosed" me with plantar fasciitis. I'm pretty sure it's minor because it isn't a sheer pain and agony in my heel, it only hurts bad in the morning and is annoying the rest of the day. I stretch twice a day and wear special insoles made for plantar fasciitis. My foot doc said it should only big bug me for about 4- 6 weeks and by then it should clear up if I do 2hat I'm supposed to. Any of you guys had similar results?

Stretch your calves and hamstrings. Make sure you are always wearing good shoes when you aren't in ski boots. Also, the cast they give people with a serious problem is basically a ski boot so ski as much as possible.

Yeah, mine would come on and off for about a year and last for a couple weeks usually. Like above.... make sure you stretch your calves/achilles/hammies it will help a lot. Also a good way to relieve pain on the plantar fascia is to freeze a water bottle and roll your foot over it, helps a lot.

I had it once from walking home from running practice in skate shoes but it went away after a few weeks of not wearing skate shoes. if you find yourself standing around try to keep weight off your heels.

keep wearing your special insoles as often as you can, wear good/supportive shoes as well, and avoid wearing flip-flops and other soft, squishy footwear.

Soft/squishy footwear only allow your foot to collapse and elongate more, thus worsening the tears in your plantar fascia band. Support your arches with your special insoles and provide your foot & insole with a supportive home (a good pair of shoes).

I'm also wearing a compression sock on the affected foot. I was told that can help

def keep rocking the insoles. I smoked my heels in high school. Shit sucked. Could barely walk for a while. Fuck that noise.

walk carefully and avoid doing things that impact your feet.
