Plantar Facilitis. Please tell me it gets better

[Bubble2bubble]

I have this now since before Easter. I think I am pretty good with pain, but honestly there were days I would have willingly accepted crutches had they been offered.
I bought some really good insoles which have helped, a bit.
I have only been wearing lace up boots for weeks, couldn't consider shoes.
I took anti inflammatories for a month but then thought I was slightly better and stopped ( also panicked at the thought of being on constant anti- infammatories for so long ), so am now worse than ever.
I have lost weight - OK only half a stone, but will keep going.
I am taking Curcumin, vitamin D and Omega 3
I am STILL in such crippling pain in the morning that I have to hop :(
Is there anything I can do?

Wow loads of information , thanks all :)
Not cheered up by the thought that so many of you have had it for so long, but certainly a lot more options to look into.
Glad I asked now :)

Another thing you can try is keeping a water bottle in the freezer and then using that in the evening as a foot roller - it helps with the pain as well as stretching your foot.

My journey to a solution started with books.google.co.uk/books?id=zUz0aFhez_MC&printsec=frontcover&dq=inauthor:%22Katy+Bowman%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjl387W98jMAhWHC8AKHQ7yDVcQ6AEIKjAD#v=onepage&q&f=false

Learned lots of other things along the way. Stretching rather than orthodontics work d well for me. Hope you find what works for you , xx

Op I had it for two years before orthotics I had fallen arches orthotics started to work hugely within 3 weeks

My GP referred me to a physiotherapist, and I was given exercises which sorted it; took about 6 weeks. That was two years ago and I've had no problems since. I still do the exercises preventatively from time to time.

I did the alphabet-writing exercise with my feet last night after reading this thread. I now have niggly pain in both heels. However, I'm prepared to concede schlepping around the house in flipflops over the weekend may also have contributed. I've been wearing my fitflop trainers today....
