    I have the same p left heel, after numerous physio sessions and some expensive supportive joggers it has reduced some. A good tip to try, is frezzing a bottle of water and then putting it under your foot and rolling it under your foot, it provides an ice pack and massage at the same time. They reckon untreated it can take nearly 12 months to heal

    I developed this over summer. I saw a podiatrist several times adnd ended up being fitted for orthotics. I wear these in most of my shoes, and have found it doesnt happen as often.

    Also try to do the stretching, ice did very little.

    I have just had 2 weeks of heel pain which the doctor said was Plantar Fascitis. He said to always wear supportive shoes and use voltarin on it after warming it in a bath or shower. I started wearing runners for my walk to and from work and it has now gone away. Mine was different though - the pain got worse throughout the day as I walked on it.

    It might be worth getting your's checked out.
