Hello. I have platar faciitis and it kills me when I get up from a comfortable position, like after sleeping. My heels kill me and the pain is so severe. I have gotten the shots, and they hurt so badly. I wish there was an easier and less painful way to recieve relief. I got a shot in my right foot originally almost 2 months ago and the pain subsided for a months time, then in the left foot and the pain has not yet subsided. Need to go back for a nother shot but they are so expensive and I cannot afford the orthotics now. Any other suggestions email me. catnfrank@aol.com
: 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.
