I have had Plantar Faciitis for 3 years now. I used to take the ortisone shots but it started to get to expensive since my work is covering me like they are suppose to. Anyway has anyone tried something that actually works? I just avoid hard surfaces but every morining is painful.
: Hi Elaine,
: I have the same problem as you,
: though much less severe. It
: started about 8 months ago. I
: tried wearing a custom orthotic (I
: have flat feet), but to no avail.
: My podiatrist gave me
: anti-inflammatory pills, which
: relieved half the pain for about a
: month, then their effect started
: to fade.
: I have heard that shockwave /
: ultrasound treatment and
: physiotherapy may help. When all
: fail, a cortisone needle shot
: right into the heel may be the
: last measure.
: I am also open to all suggestions on
: how to cure plantar faciatis
: without undergoing surgery or
: getting a needle shot.
