Yep, it is a hard floor thing usually. We are not designed for them. Most people have one leg longer than the other so one hits the ground harder. Mine is 7mm different, not a problem walking on grass etc as it's uneven anyway. My legs were measured and one of my insoles is 5mm taller than the other.

I first had this about 10 years ago. The exercises helped it clear up, but I ended up with Achilles tendonitis. This was far worse, stopped me walking any distance for over 2 years. I ended up with both my lower legs in plaster for 4 weeks to stop me using them, followed by a long programme of very gentle stretching exercises. I never want to go through that again!

I get flare-ups of PF and find that gel heel inserts in all my shoes, and keeping walking on hard surfaces to a minimum, usually clears it up in a few weeks.

Birkenstocks!

They are a god send if you're suffering from PF.

Take a few days to get used to buy the arch support really does help plus make yourself walk heel to toe.

Rocker sole shoes such as Masai barefoot technology shoes really help.

As mentioned with using golf balls, plenty of massaging is good as it aids blood circulation which speeds recovery times.

I started with it last yr. I had been wearing my skechers go walks alot and ? caused/aggravated it. Sometimes the only relief is wearing a little heel (now have slipper with them)but that's not always practical. Will dig out my birkenstocks. I assumed that because I got relief from heel, birkenstocks wouldn't be high enough. Will try though.

I hate getting up in morning, try to stretch before I do but sometimes in rush forget and have to walk in tiptoes to go bathroom! Getting out of car,after long journey, when travelling as a passenger is painful too!

I ignored it for ages. The crunch came when I jumped out of a car at busy traffic lights and found myself in the middle of the road unable to walk.
Several injections and insoles made for my feet after plaster casts were taken and I'm fine now. Slightest twinge and I'll stretch out on the stairs. I've also made an angled wooded ramp to send and stretch on.

Thanks for lall the helpful comments, will continue with the exercises, have ordered Slimflex insoles. It seems that some of you have suffered much more than I do.

There seems to be a PF epidemic atm.

Several people at work have it, and my hairdresser is having no end of trouble. She then reeled off a list of mutual acquaintances who are suffering too. Last night Mr F's mum told us that one of his sisters has just been diagnosed with it.

What IS going on?

And another sufferer here!

Gel insoles may help, but the first time I tried them, the bl~~~ things burst!

I now use Sorbothane insoles which ease the shock.

Two cortisone injections into the achilles helped but only for a short time, but you need a high pain threshold to suffer those injections, even though they have an anaesthetic in them.

What's going on?

I weigh too much and walk too much. I think I've worn my feet out!

Another sufferer here. I go through stages when it's agony and I can barely put my feet in the floor. At the moment it's there but not agony, don't need painkillers at the moment. I'm a nurse so I'm on my feet all day but it's not till I stop that the pain is awful. Exercises are a must, anything to stretch out your calf and your foot should help, Google will give you the usual exercises. The best treatment for me is rubbing my foot on a golf ball. If you find it too firm, try a tennis ball. I have arch supports in my work shoes too. I've never been to my GP with it as there's little they can do. I take paracetamol and ibuprofen if I'm particularly bad.

On the bright side, it's a self limiting condition. It goes away on its own eventually after a couple of years (I'm told).

I had it a few years ago and 2 things (that have already been mentioned) worked:

insoles (full feet ones from Boots, around £20 but worth every penny)

Birkenstocks (again worth the money)

I think I developed it after walking in slip on sandals one summer meaning I was clenching my toes to keep them on my feet. I consciously walk with my feet as bendy and relaxed as poss now and haven't suffered since.

Good luck!

My partner had this recently and tried numerous things, including physio. The two things that helped most were:

Wearing Skechers (the really supportive ones) during the day.

Wearing a Strassburg Sock at night - http://thesock.com/.

6 months later she's much better and we even managed a 13 mile hike on Saturday.

Good luck!
