How can I make this better!
I've been suffering for about a year now, first went to Drs 5 months ago. I've been following their advice - doing the exercises, taking ibuprofen, supportive shoes, ALWAYS, even in the house - and it's getting no better.
It's making my life utter misery and I'm about ready to chop my foot off. I find most exercise impossible, even walking. And I'm constantly telling the children, friends, family that I can't do stuff because of the pain I'm in. Some days I'm actually reduced to tears.
I've been back to the Drs today and they've said to carry on with the things I'm already doing and try to lose some weight and it will eventually get better.
There must be a way to help reduce the pain while I'm waiting for it to magically disappear?
Any tips? Any fellow sufferers who want to join my pity party?

PF is utterly miserable. Custom made orthotic insoles from a physio fixed mine for good. Expensive but so worth it.

I forgot to say orthotics for me too, as well as spiky ball, calf massage and stretching and ice. Mine are off the shelf though, which is handy as I have several pairs and don't have to keep taking them in and out of different pairs of boots.
