Another thing that I remembered helped the PF pain was sleeping with my feet up
against something so they were mildly dorsiflexed during the night.

DB,
When I thought I had done all that I could to diminish the pain of
plantar fasciatis, I finally found that pressing upward with my thumb on the
bottom of my foot at the point of the worst pain - which for me was the middle
of the ball of the right foot - would "pop" something back into place and bring
short term relief. Doing this repeatedly over a period of time, a lot of
prayer and telling my body it had been "made to do a job of supporting me while
I walk, so do it already!" AND wearing a really mushy show with a bodacious
arch support brought more relief. In fact the only shoes I could wear for a
couple of years were the Mush sandals from Teva ( I have long feet and had
found the men's on sale so it was the men's style I was wearing) with a Spenco
metatarsal pad I found online and glued into the sole of both right and left of
the Teva Mush sandals. The metatarsal support felt like I was walking on a
rock at first, but it finally relieved the pain for that season. Then came
full healing of the entire problem. Used a lot of DMSO on the foot bottoms
too..
The podiatrist did nothing to help and said it would only get worse.
Now I am bare footing it and have absolutely NO foot pain! I am so blessed and
thankful and pray the same will come to your wonderful feet, DB.
I also was on huge amounts of MSM at the time for the fibromyalgia
pain. That FM pain receded a long time before the feet settled down, but they
did. Of course this was before I had all these other modalities to assist the
healing process. Maybe the use of some of them is what has allowed the bare
footing freedom this summer? .
Blessings from Paula in Palacios
