Hi Barb--I threw in the towel--so to speak--and began using a wheel chair last summer. My pain was so bad that I really had no choice. I was in the chair for about 3-4 weeks straight, then just as needed (for malls...). For me, breaking down and using a wheelchair was a bit depressing. However, now that I look back on it, it was the best thing I've done for myself in the 4 years I've had PF. My feet are actually, sloooowly on the mend. In addition to the chair I've had a few steroid injections, I wear night splints, go to PT, and keep off my feet as much as possible. In addition, my insurance pays the $50.00/month to rent the chair. Good luck!
