Is there any particular one that made a difference for you?
I've got the Dr. Scholls heel/PF pain pair in today on some Foamposites and I'm not miserable. Some discomfort in the balls of both feet.

I had PF once. My podiatrist made me some orthotics and the PF never came back. Now I use over the counter running insoles such as Powersteps and Road Runner Sports branded insoles (cheaper than the ones from the podiatrist). Everything is good now.. except for the fact that I can't use certain shoes without a removable insole such as Lebron XIs and Kobes.

You should avoid taking any pain killers if possible! What my doctor explained to me when I was dealing with my Plantar Fasciitis is that the danger with painkillers is not knowing when you're harming yourself. Dulling the pain feels better but it doesn't heal your injury, so when you keep walking on it thinking that it's healed up you actually making things much worse. For me personally getting better was a mix of rest, inserts and the BFST treatment I mentioned. I used the regular Dr Scholls inserts and I found that really helped. But after reading a lot about plantar and talking with my physician it became clear that it's a hard injury for it to just heal yourself with. If anybody is suffering from plantar I HIGHLY recommend looking into the BFST wrap, it seriously helped me out so much. Now that I'm all healed up I just focus on preventing getting plantar again with using the inserts.

Seriously. If I could go back and slap the needle out of the Doctors hand I would. Cortisone shots are the worst.
The pain came back with a vengeance like Jason and Micheal Myers. Honestly the only medicine that I've found to work for me is good ole Sour Diesel.
Due to me being a commercial driver I can't really dabble in such wonderful medication so I've had to try alternative measures. Second best I could find is stretching. Before bed usually works best for me not to have pain in the A.M

Definitely this! Cortisone shots are brutally misleading. I wish I'd never taken them either.

Just thought I'd drop some specific links for people effected by this, since I can say I've personally healed using a combo of these. And it sounds like there's a lot of you out there suffering from Plantar.
The Dr. Scholl's Insert that I used was this one
The blood flow treatment that I used
And the cold compression wrap that I used
It was seriously one of the more painful things I've ever had to deal with so I hope this helps.

Going in for this in a few weeks. The pain has moved from my foot to my Achilles.

I've been using a Dr. Scholls insert that says for Arch Pain but it has helped me more than the Dr. Scholls insert for Heel Pain.

Update us on how it goes.... I've talked to podiatrists who say it won't work
I'll just add one thing, i haven't been able to fully beat my PF for almost a year but only recently have I given up wearing orthotics and also going barefoot again at home. I think I'm on the right path now and all the arch support prevented my foot from getting the strength it needs to heal

Yea, I got a bone spur in my right foot. Went in for an appointment today. They taped my feet and placed a cushion on my arches. So I am walking around like a penguin until TUES

My foot has been KILLING me lately man. I haven't been to PT since March and I haven't been staying on top of my routines. Gotta get back.
