What the fuck do I do about plantar fasciitis? For the record: no, I'm not fat.

Do you stand on your feet a lot?
Well stop if you do. It's literally stretching your feet out every time you stand. Your body can only tolerate it so much.

lacrosse ball rolling under your foot every morning, keep it in your fridge.

I have barefoot-style shoes that I was walking a lot in, but it was on pavement. I think that's what kicked things off.

oh so this is the thing that makes my heel feel like it's literally tearing apart in the morning, thanks

I can usually alleviate mine with foam rolling. Start with the ankle and calf and work your way up until you find the problem spot. Sometimes I find it near the top of my hamstring. Hamstring glides help too. Try good mornings or RDLs for long term maintenance.

I started using toe spacers at night along with all the other normal stuff that’s recommended for it. I read something about big toe being cramped can cause less blood flow so gave it a try. Recovery seemed to improve a bit after starting with the spacers but who fucking knows, PF will drive you insane trying to recover. I once had it in both feet, changed shoes and one healed in literally a week the other took a few months.

Roll a lacrosse ball, golf ball, or baseball under your feet every day before bed.

.t cured and avoided plantar fasciitis for 10+ years

Let me lick your foot. From heel to toe.

I used a tenis ball to massage the foot and stretched the calves; immediate relief. Also, check if your shoes have the heel lower than the ball of the foot. My heels were digging through my work boots back when I was suffering with that crap.

As an expert walker, I did the 100,000 step challenge successfully last year and averaged 43000 steps per day last year.

The key is unless you be stepping, you best be sitting. Being on your feet is a privilege. Also stretch your calves often and soak your feet.

Replace the default insert in your shoe with a cheap support one from Walmart and see if those help. If it doesn't go see a Podiatrist and get custom orthotic inserts made.

not if you are a normal weight

Not much, just soldier on, mine went away after about a month. I was a fat fuck and started a new job where I was on my feet all day

Had this happen to me jog-hiking, pointy rock right on the heel, took a week to be normal
