[QUOTE="Kasey, post: 384740, member: 295"] I have had plantar fasciitis for a couple years now. I am 68 and have been in construction all my life, so lots of overuse of body. Lots of standing on concrete for hours at a time. I still am working part time, approximately 4 hours per day, so healing is slower because of this. I need to keep working to pay bills and I like having something to do. Presently I have it under control and it seems to be getting better slowly. Heres my advice. If its holding you back and not improving go see a foot doctor. He may recommend a cortisone shot and custom orthotics. You can decide on the cortisone shot. It worked for me in one heel but not the other. I definitely like the custom orthotics so much that I got two pair. One for outside shoes and one for inside. Like someone already mentioned, Hoka gaviata shoes worked great. Doctor recomended Naproxen 220 mg twice per day. I am now down to one in morning. Rest more and walk less until better. Always get off your feet when they start to flair or you will make it worse. [/QUOTE]
