Hi all,
I know there is some older advice on here about plantar fasciitis but wanted to see if anyone has any recent suggestions! I’ve been dealing with plantar fasciitis in both feet for 7 months. The pain in the morning is the worse but it hurts any time I walk for more than a mile and stand for more than 5 minutes. I've totally stopped running, and even walking is painful. The pain started in the heels, and has spread to the arch. I have custom orthotics, straussberg sock night splint, have gone to PT, acupuncture, ART, worn a walking boot for 3 weeks, and even done low-energy extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) for 3 sessions. I tried cortisone shots, which didn't do anything. I never go barefoot and I do daily stretching and rolling. For those who have done low-energy extracorporeal shock wave therapy, how many sessions did you need for it to work? I've heard some people take more sessions, so maybe I need to try more?
I’d love any recommendations on things you tried, how long it took to heal, and any encouraging words!
Specifically people who have tried prolotherapy, dry needling, PRP, high-energy shockwave- what worked?
