You all have my heartfelt sympathy. I suffer from PF, but have been fortunate enough to be able to "manage" it. I work for Thorlo, and I believe that a big part of my ability to manage PF has been the use of the product my company makes - Thorlos sock products. We have a special product that may provide some relief for you. I say MAY, because, as you know, with PF there are no quick fixes or miracle cures (at least as far as I know, unfortunately). We do not sell this product commercially, but have made it available with some success to diabetic patients with foot neuropathy and ulceration problems. I know of two cases where plantar fasciitis patients showed significant improvement and increased mobility after using it.If you would like to find out more, please e-mail me. You would need to purchase and be fitted properly with new shoes. We can make recommendations, but the brand and style would be your choice. The Thorlos product you would be using would be very thick, and would probably dictate a full size larger shoe than your accustomed size. I'll give you more details if you contact me.
I hope we can help you. Please get in touch.
Your sympathetic fellow PF sufferer,
Rick
