This is ruining my life. I have had this going on over a year. I can hardly walk. I have plantar facitiis is both feet, have had therapy first, then cortisone shots while in therapy, PRP injections, night splint. Now I am back in water therapy with wearing a boot during the day and using a walker. I had an MRI done of just one foot (not sure why just one since both feet kill me), but MRI showed torn facia. Now they are having inserts made for me. Yes, I need to lose weight, but that's pretty hard when you can't walk. :) I wish I could find a medical expert who could help me but just don't know where to turn. I am now always depressed because I can't hardly even go to grocery store. I live on the third floor of condo building which is a nightmare. I am hoping someone out there can help me.

Sorry to hear about your situation. PF is pretty common and many women over 50 have had some personal knowledge of the discomfort.That said, it still doesn't help you. I think if you are continuing to try all the exercises given to you with minimal results, it is time to look at a new Doctor. You may want to think about accupuncture and other alternative views.

Would love to try accupuncture but it is very expensive and insurance does not cover. Thank you for replying to my post.
