Treatment Ratings
My issues stared approximately a year ago. Since then I have tried multiple remedies without success. I have pain every day. IBP and rest helps. Injections are very painful but did seem to help for a short time. Due to the pain I am no longer as active as I once was. I used to run frequently and never had an issue. I've now gained weight due to not being as mobile which I am fully aware doesn't help the problem. I have a Rx for custom orthotics but haven't had that done due to insurance not covering the high cost. The pain is debilitating.

I am sorry to hear that insurance will not cover the custom orthotics. Have you ever tried a point massage on your foot/feet? This specific type of massage is very effective. You can learn more about it here: https://www.healthoutcome.org/condition/5/plantar-fasciitis/recommendation/119
Wishing you the best!
