Has anyone dealt with plantar fasciitis? I've had it in my left foot for 2 weeks now, and I'm getting depressed. For the first time in my life I want to exercise, and I feel this is holding me back.

I have been bike riding and swimming to rest my foot, but i miss long walks with my husband and dogs.

I do wear proper shoes, and I've been stretching it as much as I can. It felt like it was getting better, but I played badminton with my son today and now it's super sore again....I'm so frustrated!!

So, I'm wondering...if you've had this problem, what did you do to help it feel better??

Yes I have had it for awhile. You never stop having it. But orthotics, exercises, stretches, icing and sometimes cortisone shots can help. Find a great podiatrist. My doctor told me 10 years ago losing weight is the number 1 thing you can do. And he was right. At a size 4/6 and 130 lbs my feet seem normal. I know they are not but no pain at all right now. I always wear shoes with good arches... Even flip flops!

I'm sorry, but you can get rid of it completely.
