Plantar fasciitis?

[chiickenandchiips]

Had anyone had this and found something that eases the discomfort and pain?

I'm finding my left foot is extremely painful if I've been walking or standing a lot, and after periods of sitting down for a while when I stand up I hobble about to avoid putting my foot flat.

Googling has led me to think it is plantar fasciitis? Pic shows where my pain is.

Haflinger slippers, and a spiky roller.

(And I gave up running - that really helped)

Great advice here, will try the bedtime strap as it’s worse when I get up

Ooh I had this last year and yes it's v painful! I'd never heard of it prior. I had physio and he used laser therapy too. I only had 2 or 3 sessions but the relief was immense as I'd had it for around 18 months, not knowing what it was! It's quite common apparently, more so now as people have laminate floors and walking on that without shoes can be a big cause. P.s. I did try tennis balls, stretching exercises etc whilst it helped a little, it was only short term. The laser therapy improves blood flow to the area and reduces inflammation and pain. It was such a relief!

Get physio and laser therapy. Not expensive, I had 3 sessions and it's not come back in over a year.
