I’m a track and cross country athlete. I’ve had plantar fasciitis for maybe a month and a half now. I ran on it before but I haven’t run for three or four weeks now because of a stress fracture, for which I had to wear a boot on my foot. While wearing the boot my plantar fasciitis seemed to have gone away but now that I have the boot off it started to hurt again. How come it isn’t healing?
Hi
I am also running and I am dealing with plantar fasciitis for more than a year now. Plantar fasciitis relief might take time. There are many things you can do to treat your PF although I understood that treatment efficiency is very individual. If something works for one it may not work for the other.
I understand that you did not try taping? I have found it very useful. Taping will keep your foot from getting injured again and will help you get through your daily routine. There are a few Taping techniques you can find in YouTube – just type “Plantar Fasciitis Taping” in YouTube search.
Think about your gate. This is the key for your recovery.
Try swimming and riding a bicycle. I used to run and I got plantar fasciitis so I started to swim and cycle. Today I’m better with my PF so I ended up as a triathlete.
I also found a very informative website in: http://www.plantar-fasciitis-elrofeet.com
Take care & Good luck
