You need a mid-stability or motion control shoe and perhaps an arch support. Arch supports aren't necessarily the answer. If your arches are flat supports will just agrivate them. A supportive shoe will correct your overpronation, which is the likely cause of your plantar facitis. These shoes have a second-density support system underneath the arch area which will not allow your foot to roll in (or overpronate) as it has a tendency to do. This rolling in of the feet causes your plantar fascia to stretch too far. It gets damaged every day, repairs itself at night, and is damaged all over again when you get out of bed.

Try rest, and elevate the foot with ice and maybe look into going  to see a therapist to help you through this.

First of all, don't exercise through pain. It is better to give yourself a rest for a while. But if the pain becomes stronger, contact your doctor immediately! It can be too serious if you don't!

Check in with the doctor first to make sure you haven't worn down the tissue too much. It's probably just a stress injury, but those are some of the most annoying ones. Probably the reason the pain subsides is it goes into a numb-like state, or you just stop noticing because you're in the zone. If this has been bothering you for awhile take at least two weeks off. If you can't do that, then maybe cut back on your mileage to a minimum. Then at least you aren't breaking the habit.

sounds like she may have Morton's neuroma??  for starters try loosening the laces on shoes or buying wider shoes to no compress the foot so tightly.  there is some simple padding to try also for neuroma pain.  i have a great web site for you to go to for more information on treatment and articles regarding foot conditions.  use the source as a direct link to articles.

Maybe you should call a nurse or go see a doctor. But if the pain is consistent I'm sure there is a problem.

Stretching the calf muscles before getting out of bed in the morning and a few times per day will usually cure plantar fasciitis. Leaning against a wall with your feet flat on the ground is another way to stretch the plantar fascia. When the calf muscles allow the foot to bend back easily, there will be less tension in the bottom of the foot when walking or running. If the foot cannot bend back as far as needed, excessive tension in the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon occurs. \n\nNot stretching before walking can cause new injury so make a habit of stretching before walking. And, stretching too far or too many times at once can hurt the heel and Achilles tendon. Try stretching slowly about five times before getting out of bed and after sitting a while.\n\nThe longer you wait to start stretching after plantar fasciitis begins, the longer your recovery will be. It may even take months of regular stretching if you have had the pain for too long. Replacing stiff-soled shoes with flexible shoes, using better arch support, using shoes with thicker and softer soles, and/or losing weight will help keep plantar fasciitis from returning.

You are correct, keep claiming the healing... it's there, you just may not KNOW it yet.\n\nLook around at your life, ask yourself what is God trying to show you?  Maybe your feet are a distraction... look past them. \n\nRead up on spiritual warfare. Maybe, that will help you rid yourself of the pain.\n\nKeep telling yourself, MY FEET ARE FEELING BETTER.\n\nBe careful not to repeat words outloud that actually claim the opposite of what you are asking for.\n\nYou might try exercising your legs to help the circulation too.  If you can't go for a walk, try lying on your back and  lift one leg up, holding it at the back of your knee and just lift your foot up and down a few times to get the blood moving.\n\nBlessings to you.

It could be that you are just working a lot and naturally getting blisters from the exersion.  Try tightening your cleats that can sometimes help.  If the blisters are from rubbing up and down on your cleats put some Dr. Sholls stuff in there.  Its in a square and its like a pad that you can stick in the heel to prevent blisters.  Works great

Everything depends on how you injured your foot and how severe it was...How long ago? What treatment have you sought? If it's severe enough and painful enough I would suggest a visit to an orthopod.  Good luck!

Yep. sounds like you may have some arthritic changes in your foot/feet.  I know about foot pain becasue I have it often.  I've noticed that eating a lot of calcium or taking calcium supplements on a regular basis helps.  Esp. given the fact that you've just been pregnant, your body may be "leeching" calcium... Try this along with vitamin c (oj) to help you digest the calcium!

Yes, and it hurts like hell! Just alternate heat and ice every 20 minutes, and it will help a lot. I did this by powerwalking. It takes a while to heal. My doctor put me in a walking boot so I could continue to walk. Just be patient!

What sort of diagnosis did the doctors give you?  Can you describe the pain, i.e. is it more of a burning?  Have you been to see a neurologist?  Have you been to a physical therapist?\n\nUnsure if you have peripheral neuopathy or arthritis, maybe something else?\n\nRegardless, you may want to find a physical therapist who uses the Anodyne or Revitamed infrared therapy.  Check out their websites as I think they have a list of therapists who use this equipment.  This may help to relieve your symptoms, but you need an explanation for the cause of the pain - I am unsure of what is causing it.\n\nDid the doctors try taping your foot for support?\n\nGood luck!\n\nIn response to your answers:\n\nIf it is plantar fasciitis: this sounds a probable diagnosis.  Physical therapy can help with this.  We can use techniques, such as taping, ultrasound, etc. to help stretch out the area.  Plantar fasciitis can originate in the calf muscle because it is too tight.  You need to stretch out your calf!  Easiest way is by standing on a step and droping your heels off the edge.  I know one orthopedist who recommends holding the stretch for 10 minutes - quite painful to do but it can help.\n\nTry doing the following: fill an old soda bottle with water and freeze it.  Then, for about 10 minutes three times a day, take it out and roll your bare foot on it.  You can do this after the step stretch as it will help to calm down any inflammation.\n\nYou can also try a product called 'The Strassburg Sock' - specifically designed for plantar fasciitis and I have seen it work well with some patients.  Available over the counter and I think they have a website.\n\nAny other questions or comments?

first of all, buy better shoes. Second, take an anti-inflammatory ALL THE TIME. Just taking it when it hurts does not help the problem. Third, quit running and start walking for exercise. Shortening your stride will also help. You can strengthen those muscles by doing 30 toe-raises a day. Without the support of a wall, go from flat footed to up on your toes 30 times each day. Do so fairly slowly and let yourself back down JUST as slowly.

Well it depends on where your pain is coming from.\n\nTry the Gel inserts in the shoes as well and another thing is a Dr. Scholl's foot bath to let them soak and get the one with the vibration so that it massages them.\n\nAfterwards rub your feet down with a thick lotion similar to a palmers cocoa butter and put white socks on to sleep in to trap the lotion or vaseline in.\n\nAlso take Advil or Aleve if you can about an hour or 2 into your shift these reduce swelling so half way through your shift it is not so bad and then do it again before bed.\n\nYou may have something called Plantars Faciatis though which is severe pain in the arch and heal and this can only be helped with stretching and if that doesn't work you will have to see a podiatrist for injections.  \n\nGood luck I eventually had to give up bartending because of foot pain but I have to get injections and now where orthodics I was also told no heels which I loved heels so live and learn.\n\nBest wishes

First off, if any of part of your body hurts, you should tell your mom or dad.\nThen, if it hurts really bad, you should go to the doctor. All you have to do is follow the directions the doctor says. For example, if he or she tell you that you can't play in a sport for 5 weeks. Ok then if you want you can e-mail me if it is getting better. As home remedies, you can pull your toe a little at a time maybe 5-7 times a week.\n\n                                                  A normal dude, \n                                                               bballfreak61296
