I have had bilateral plantarfasciitis with heel spurs or thirteen years and the only relief I ever got which did not last more than a few hours was when I had my fourth or fifth enzyme potentiated desensitization injection following a course of antifungals. I believe the link to ne candida which is probably linked to something in the environment or food chain.I often feel a decrease in pain levels when in places which are a good way away from traffic fumes but whether this is due to diesel/petrol fumes or to he fact that on a cloudy day fumes are trapped below a blanket of cloud, I have not been able to discover.
All I know is that my condition is variable according to where I am at the time. Does anyone else have experience of this phenomena?

: I have been suffering from PF for
: over
: a
: year. I work in retail, so I am
: always on my feet.
: I went to my Regular doctor in
: November and she told me to get
: arch
: supports. I did and it helped a
: little. She also gave me a minor
: dose
: of an anti inflammatory.
: She sent me to a specialist who gave
: me some Cortisone shots and a
: bigger dose of a different anti
: inflammatory.
: None of this helped. I have been
: seeing him since January.
: He put me in a Pressure Relief Walker
: that greatly reduced the pain.
: Mainly because I could not bend my
: foot so my PF didn't borther me as
: much.
: I wore it 3 weeks and he told me 3
: more weeks. Then after the 6
: weeks, I told that I had tried my
: shoe for 5 days straight (40 hours
: at work) and was in great pain. He
: told me to wear it for 3 more
: weeks.
: I go back to him Monday. I am hurting
: still. The Pressure Relief
: Walker (that insurance paid $450 for)
: is now broken at the toe. So
: it's kind of pointless. I wore my
: shoe to work Thursday and by the
: end of my 8 hour shift, my feet and
: back were hurting so bad I was
: almost in tears.
: What else can he do to help me? I am
: tired of hurting.
: Any suggestions??
