Ed, My DR said most PF pain is worst on first rising in :AM because
during sleep, foot is relaxed & ligaments are in extensor position,
(meaning relaxed & shrunk or contracted). Standing increases
pounds/per/sq/inch pressure & elongates or stretches the fascia & ligaments while foot is in "flexion" mode......this KILLS!!! That's
why I have started wrapping my foot/akle in the "flexed" position
with an ace wrap....feels great in AM. It actually similates the
S-sock or nite splint. Good luck! Janis
