Ive been battling chronic plantar fasciitis in both feet for a little over a year now. Ive spent well over a thousand dollars in the last year on shoes,custom molded prescription orthotics, cortisone shots. Basically everything short of surgery.
My pain isn't the common heal area,more in my arch right behind the ball of my foot. On a good day,my pain is about a 5,once im up and moving it isnt completely unbearable,but after sitting for as little as 5 minutes,its like starting the day over again pain wise and anyone whos been through this knows what its like first thing in the am.
Ive done the stretches,and at this point i feel im running out of options. I really dont want the surgery becasue of the associated down time. I have to be able to work to support my family. Has anyone else gone through this and found the magic bullet? please share your stories so maybe I can have a little hope. Im really at wits end with this,I honestly wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.
