Plantar Fasciitis anyone?

I live in FitFlops, they work beautifully for me.
It's hard to envisage quite how painful Plantar fasciitis can be until you experience it but putting on FitFlops causes the pain to disappear like magic.

There has been a number of threats on this over the years,so I am repeating myself, I had this very badly and was cured very easily with acupuncture.
It has never come back but if it does I will be straight on the phone to book in.

Warbler, I have had this, also for two months. The other day it seemed to be slightly better, but has come back just as badly.
I find that after I have been walking for a bit, it does get easier.
My most comfortable shoes at the moment are a very cheap pair of sliders from Sainsburys , on line. £7.00. Hope they last a long time as I only wear them indoors.

I have also had this for the last couple of months. Thank you Warbler for the information about Gabor shoes. It is very important to wear shoes that support your foot. I went to see a lovely Physio who gave me treatment and some exercises to do, which are really helping. Wishing you well soon.

I have had PF in the past. I found shoes with a low heel easier to walk in than completely flat ones. I hadn't heard of Gabor shoes.

I spent a fortune of FitFlops and Hotter shoes, which did help. I had one session of physio which didn't seem to really help.

I did have a golf ball that I use to roll my foot over when I was watching TV in the evening. I seemed to help a lot.

I also had PF socks (from Amazon) that I used to wear 24 hours a day at some points.

My pain lasted about three months (sorry) but that was about three years ago and I haven't had it since. I do tend to always wear shoes with good arch support now, which may be why.

As another poster said, you don't realise how painful it is until you become a sufferer

I had it for a few months late last year and early this year. Nothing seemed to help, I even had a 5 visit course of acupuncture, which wasn`t cheap. It eventually went away, but came back after a month, but in just one foot this time, and it`s still with me.

Fit flops made mine worse

Roll an ice-cold can of Coke under your feet 🦶- worked for me …..

Fitflops, Crocs and gel pads in heels of my shoes, all worked wonders fir me and I haven't suffered since I suffered about 5 years ago.

Fit flops for me all the time. They are the only shoes I wear now , even their slippers round the house. I had it for nearly a year and tried every treatment going until someone suggested fit flops. Admittedly they are expensive but I always buy when their sales are on.

I have just recovered from the pain of PF. It lasted about a year & was very painful. I found that nothing really helped but rolling my foot over a cold bottle gave some relief. A doctor friend said that it would go in time - she was right, but took months! Gel pads in my Rieker trainers did give some relief. Hang on in there - it will get better!
