Plantar faciitis treatment advice

Have you tried the ibruprofen 3xdaily for a week?
That what I did.
It's not for it's pain killing properties, it's more for the anti inflammatory response

I got it quite suddenly after buying a pair of unsupportive runners. I walk for 40 minutes every day wearing ASICS shoes normally. Going back to the ASICS relieved it quickly. Sounds like yours is more chronic but the supportive shoes was the key for me.

I had the same thing and it caused me no end of pain. I refused the injections offered as I knew it would only be a short term fix, and went to a physio, who gave me some easy exercises to do, and when in got really bad, I would roll a cold can under my foot for relief, it worked for me! I also invested in a new pair of runners, I couldn't afford anything too expensive, so ended up with some from Skechers, which worked a treat, they were from the local DFO outlet and drastically discounted, I think they were about $40, but they were from their shape ups range, which are shaped differently and gave me the support on the arch that I needed. It only took a few weeks of wearing them and I was back to normal!
