Been there done that... LOT'S of stretching, achilles/calf/hamstring. Also get a a firm ball, like a baseball or you can buy a specific one at Dick's, and roll your foot with as much pressure as you handle (it will hurt).

Yep I also forgot to mention the ice. Need to work on it while it feels ok from the shot to get past it.

I have dealt with it before but it was very minor compared to this time. My wife has a bad knee and when we had a connecting flight in Charlotte I pushed her in an airline wheelchair (on arrival and departure flights) for what seemed like a mile. I think that exasperated it. At least that’s what I’m telling her.

I have had very good results from these HTP blue heel cups over the years:

It takes 3-4 weeks for them to do their thing, and I only have repeat plantar fasciitis problems when I stop using them every day.

I (painfully) use one of OCD psycho dog's many tennis balls to roll under my instep/heel area to stretch things out, which works great except that the dog thinks that I'm playing keep away and wants his fetch ball back.....

I have sinus tarsi syndrome and wore OTC orthotics that my podiatrist recommended for years until they just stopped working. Now I get prescription orthotics from him plus an occasional steroid injection and I'm doing much better. Been wearing the prescription ones for more than 5 years now and rarely need the injection anymore.

But I also got myself to the podiatrist who put me into some Pure Stride OTC orthotics, gave me some stretches to do and hit me with a triamcinolone acetonide injection. A week later, I’m doing much better.

I use these dryer balls. They have very little flex. Like others have said, it's not comfy but it gets the job done for me.

I’ve had custom orthotics for years and have not had PF since. Also found out during the fitting process that my right leg in a tiny bit shorter than my left so the orthotic also compensates for that.

Edit: Also got one of these to stretch the calves/Achilles every day…

Yes, custom/prescription is what I meant in my post above.

[kscarrol]

Yes, I read your post and saw “prescription”, just chiming in that custom/prescription can have benefits above OTC ones though I’d try OTC first…

Just wanted to make sure people understood I meant “custom,” tbh.

And definitely custom has benefits over OTC.

Looks like this is the one ( https://www.amazon.ca/Universal-Slot...f-fa04f1ca0da8 ) for us Canucks but at over $50CDN a pair I think I'll stick with the ones I have now.

Which ones do you have?

I have a bunch of the black ones that go on the jack, but I might make something like the one the jack stand in stainless steel, but without the block on top, and I`ll just use my jack pad.

I use these aluminum pads that I ground to fit snuggly in my jack stands. I have never had them even wiggle once in place and with a little weight on them. They're Potauto and I believe I got them from Amazon.

Sometimes, all you want is a rum and ginger beer as the weather heats up a little.
