Plantar fasciitis- does anything help quickly?

[Allnewtometoo]

I've been getting a few niggles of heel pain nothing too terrible, mostly first thing in the morning.

I walk a lot and went for a walk yesterday, around 11 miles. Last night my heel was very painful and today I can't really put any weight on it. Will it ease off?

Does anything really help? I've done some stretches and taking ibuprofen.

You were lucky. The inserts from Boots help me a lot but have never cured it quickly.

A cortisone injection from my orthopedist cleared mine up right away.

I found a frozen bottle of water really helpful to roll under my foot like this

Insoles when painful. Calf and ankle stretches and heel drops. Unfortunately long term wearing of insoles will weaken the supportive muscles so do spend time barefoot when the pain has reduced, and do strengthening exercises such as calf raises and balancing exercises to make the whole foot work.

If you are a runner, there are some ways to do up your laces which can help allow the top of the foot to move more naturally to prevent recurrence.
