Question:
This just ain’t fair. dammit. I spent a year and a half battling plantar fasciitis in my left foot. It finally came down to a couple of cortisone injections and some painful deep tissue massage to clear it up. I was thankful today’s round finally came to an end–my right foot was killing me. :-(
Assuming you’ve been continuing your stretching program, the obvious things to suspect are poorly-fitting or worn-out shoes or else a suddent increase in stress on that foot due to increased activity or a change in biomechanics. OTOH, if you don’t keep it stretched it will eventually come back every time. Brent Hutto

I have a history that goes back more than 10 years with my left foot. This is the first instance of my right foot giving me PF problems. I’m a little suspicious of my current orthotics–they just don’t seem to provide as much support as my old ones did. I believe the only reason I had my flare up a couple years ago was because I played a couple rounds in new golf shoes without the orthotics. I got new orthotics as part of the treatment for that, but again, I may look into getting some new ones. My first ones were fitted by stepping into a box of foam. I’ve seen mail order ads for that kind of service in running mags–I just may go that route. Unfortunately, this is one thing that my insurance won’t pay for.

Yeah, for some reason Plantar Fasciatis isn’t usually covered. Other conditions that require orthotics (such as Morton’s Neuroma) are covered. Go figure. Brent Hutto

That’s not true in my case. They’ve paid for several office visits and a couple of cortisone injections. They just won’t pay for the orthotics.

I meant to say "…orthotics for Plantar Fasciatis aren’t usually covered…", sorry. Brent Hutto

I had some luck with (off the shelf) heel inserts. Of course, when my PF flares up I also make an extra effort to stretch my calves which relieves the pain as well (so the inserts may not be doing much). — http://www.rec-sport-golf.com/members/?rollcall=hayesd http://rec-sport-golf.com/newsgroup/charter.html If this post does not meet the goals of the charter, please email me.

Ah, lovely Morton’s Neuroma. There’s nothing quite as pleasant as having a never pop between your metatarsals with ever step. Burning pain shooting up your foot. And all of this because you wore tight fitting shoes for too many days in a row. Yes, a lovely affliction indeed.
