Any runners in here deal with plantar fasciitis? How do you deal with the injury?

Good support shoes. No barefoot. Rest. Elevate. Ice. Roll a hard small ball (size of a ball hockey ball) under the sole of your foot several times daily-about 10 minutes at a time. I had to give up soccer for a long period of time to rest it. It is fine now.

@PoetryNEmotion Thank you! This issue has been off and on for quite some time. Until recently has it become consistent. I'll try the ball idea.

@JoeBeez I feels good and helpful to the bottom of the foot to do this. You have to stretch it. And ice is good too. Good luck. You may just have to stop aggravating it. Hard to rest, but if it heals...

I saw a specialist who made an arch support to wear in my shoe. It felt strange to use but it did make a difference.
It's extremely painful and uncomfortable. I kept walking through the pain but eased off the intensity.

@Hasmita My pain has been become more frequent lately, hating it. I "run through" the pain but deal with it later. Sucks! I may have to go the arch support route soon

agree when you first start using supports they feel strange it took me about 3 months to get used to them while the skin toughened up.

My PF is caused by fallen arches, I was having pain just walking but then I got arch supports. Buy them off the internet as long as they have a firm arch support they are great. I'm currently running 40-50 mpw with no problems.

Are you running on too hard a surface/without enough support?

JoeBeez · 46-50, M

@SW-User It's a recurring issue, I have been running on random surfaces and just dealing with the pain afterwards. Not enough support for sure

@JoeBeez Take care of your feet, use cushioned soles. Have breaks. Otherwise just accept it. Happens when feet are used a lot

You can buy a foot sleeve.

JoeBeez · 46-50, M

@Tierra I looked into it but hate the thought of wraps or bands on my feet while running. Is that what you use?

Tierra · 26-30, F

@JoeBeez I never had a problem with that, it's just what some other people used.
