Plantar Fasciitis
Posted by Jane on 2/26/99
I've been dealing with the heel pain associated with Plantar Fasciitis for months now. Seeing a DPM. Have tried stretching, prescriptions, injections, and orthotics - none of which have helped. Also tried Physical Therapy which made it much worse! Now in a night splint which doesn't seem to help either. That first morning step is better but that's about it. It's approaching 5 weeks in the night splint. For those who had success with a night splint, how long before you saw progress? Has anyone had a similar experience? The doctor said the next step is a cast for a few week to give it 100% rest and if that doesn't work it would be surgery. Don't really want to go that route. Has anyone had succes with a cast? Missed the whole ski season this year. Don't want to miss summer hiking too!
Any suggestions?
