Please be aware you will not get better real quick. It will take time, maybe several months or more, but you can improve. As painful as it may be try some calf and achilles stretches. Dr. Kiper's site is near this one and he has some good ones. do them 2 0r 3 times a day
and approach it as something you will continue to do forever. It may get a little worse before you get better as you stretch. Talk to your doctor about arch supoorts, orthotics, better shoes, etc. Try anything and everything on this site. Not all things work for all people. Try supplements like glucosamine and chondroitin. Try massage and warm and cold soaks. Pretend you are in a war to get better and be determined you are going to make it. .If you are not satisfied with the doctor you have go to another one. Most doctors are very ignorant of this condition. They treat patients like idiots
if they can't figrue out what's wrong. Stand up for your rights. Weight has little to do with PF. I am very thin and I got it very bad. Good luck!
