Re, my earlier post. Is the PF showing as arch apin (often sharp & acute) or as like a heel bruise? My 1st bout, due to tensing the feet on icy surface, which heeled within a few weeks with taping, was shown as arch pain. My 2nd bout which responded with correct orthotics from Warm & Dry store, was shown as like a heel bruise. IE: taping for arch pain, orthotics for heel bruisetype pain.After months of the heel type pain, I was eventually scheduled for Shock Wave treatment, but turned it down as things were improving at that point.By the way it is generally accepted now, that Plantar Fascitis is the wrong description. After much research it is now known to be not an 'Itis' (inflamation) but an 'osis' (degeneration) Plantar Fasciosis.
