NeoteriX | 6 days | Stayed off my feet for a few days. Religious stretching of arch and calves. Also iced frequently with a frozen bottle. Also used a "Strassburg Sock" during sleep to help keep arch stretched overnight. Being on summer break, able to stay off my feet helped a lot. | details |
ebuckley | 6 days | Still there, but manageable. | details |

Noname | 8 days | details | |
Veijo | 8 days | details | |
Misha | 8 days | The foot recovered, probably because I wasn't doing too much hilly running in shoes with little cushioning and support. | details |
dcady | 8 days | Not sure it was PF. Felt similar but was more on the outside of foot rather than inside. Went away after a week on its own. | details |
dcady | 8 days | Did extra stretching, massage. Tried KT tape wrap for a couple of days and athletic tape for a run. Barbara (and doc) thought it might have been partly caused by switching to sandals recently. Also lack of running meant lack of stretching. Doc says I should stretch everyday. Was surprised how quickly it resolved. Had this last year at about the same time. | details |

lestarlight | 13 days | Took a week off of running, slept with night splint, began wearing custom orthotics again, acupunture, physical therapy, ice, and stretching. After a week off, I started running again, but slow and easy, wearing only super cushiony Hokas and taking every 3rd day as a recovery day. | details |
EricNorris | 13 days | details | |
Doug B | 13 days | still some tightness in L calf, and middle of foot, but this seems to have gotten better. The hot water pack seemed to help each day over the weekend, and stretching of calf, achilles and hamstring seems to help. | details |

Zimmers | 13 days | Got in to she Shane as soon I a noticed there was an ice. A lot of foot stretches and calf stretch. Rolling a frozen gatoraid bottle on it once an hour for three straight days. Seems fine now. Pain has settled down. I bit tender still to roll a ball on it, but no pain in the morning, walking or when running. Will continue to monitor. | details |

E. Oberholtzer | 15 days | Iced, got inserts, stretched. Had some calf pain too. Cause? Shoe switch? (Asics 2130). | details |
Trailrat | 15 days | Just time. Went easy until I did not notice it anymore. Also took a few days in a row off from running which I think really helped push it into healing mode. | details |
mrevrgreen | 16 days | I took 2 weeks off of running and wore only super cushion shoes. I slept a couple of nights with my sexy struasberg sock. I kept ice under my desk and iced through out the day. It was a good plan. And best of all it worked. | details |
cktrahan | 16 days | Seems to be doing pretty well. I know it was the otc superfeet insoles that led to it. After dumping the insoles and resting the pain seems to have resolved. I really have to get new prescription insoles. | details |
dcady | 17 days | Seems to have gone away to the extent that if I hadn't had it what little sensation I feel would seem normal. Note: I have realized in retrospect that this was definitely a flare-up of PF. I don't know why I didn't realize it at the time. | details |

Hade lite känningar första månaden men sedan kändes inget mer. Fortsatte ganska länge efter att jag "stängde" skadan med att ha löpfria dagar för att låta foten läka. | details |
CharlieRennie | 41 days | details | |
Russ | 41 days | For me it all stemmed from the anlkle mobility issues, but rather than causing calf issues as it did in mid 2023 this time it impacted the foot. Lots of things with the foot unstuck by Encarna. Need to keep working on ankle mobility with bands/stretching calf etc. | details |

AliC | 49 days | Wow. Well, don't really feel like I know what the problem initially was. A nerve problem at the end, maybe also in the beginning, who knows. Had 3 physio visits. Not a stress fracture or anything, I guess. Bit of a mystery. | details |
KingTim | 49 days | Two issues; plantar fasciitis and at the same time a misaligned peroneus. Physio suggested that my bike fall in mid October caused swelling on the ankle which pushed the peroneus out of its normal alignment and it hadn't settled back properly. She manapilated it and it seemed to be fine, but to make sure she taped my ankle up to pull the peroneus in the right direction. Plantar fasciitis may have been caused by my running differently due to both the medial knee ligament damage and the peroneu... | details |

Jwchter | 51 days | Changed shoes, ran with them hard. wasn't a good idea. Took too long to recover due to not resting it. Went skiing for a week w/out any trouble. | details |
Inprin | 53 days | New inserts and better stretching have helped. Only now after neqrly 2 months can I get out of bed and walk without having to stretch first. Two weeks of rest at the start was very important. Must really watch traing to make sure it does not get reinjured. | details |
A.Child | 53 days | Time? I didn't do much running over the winter which likely helped a lot. | details |

iansmith | 61 days | Calf stretching and strengthening is really important for prevention. I required two weeks on crutches, four of no running and about eight weeks of limited activity before I was recovered. | details |

Snoball | 83 days | I came to the conclusion that this injury was cause from introducing calf raises into my workout routine. In the beginning of the summer (4 months ago) I began incorporating weight lifting into my training. One of the exercises was 2 X 15 single leg calf raises holding a 45lb weight. Shortly after introducing this exercise I experienced a "sore heal" immediately after a 6 mile tempo while running on a concrete boardwalk. I've done this run a hundred times without any issues. I believe the... | details |

mayer22 | 90 days | This seems to have gone away. Sometimes certain shoes will make me feel some issues in my foot but the alignment really seemed to be the underlying issue. Also have to pay extra attention to stretching my left calf sometimes. Next time after recovering from injuries make sure the body restores to proper motion. If a doctor (chiro, PT) can help do it. | details |

W | 95 days | details | |
Stryder | 107 days | I believe my foot is all but recovered. Over-training on the road with speed work during a time of high stress last fall caused the injury, and a lack of paying attention to my body. Foot rolling, periodic ice, "Sole" foot beds in my running shoes, a change to a more stable road shoe, and more terrain and less road running all contributed to my recovery. This was a slight case, and I did not have to be very aggressive in my treatment | details |

nmulder | 191 days | Three visits to an orthopaedic surgeon for cortisone injections, a neurologist and many, many physio and bio sessions finally made sense of it all. A sequence of right leg injuries last year finally led to plantar fasciitis on the right foot. The inflammation at the heel attachment seems to have impinged on the Baxter's Nerve which wraps around it before going under the foot to the lateral side and posteriorly around the heel. I didn't have any major plantar pain, apart from right at the a... | details |

sofiawigle | 247 days | Det jag tror orsakade skadan var dels för svaga muskler i foten, för mycket pronation och många tuffa tävlingar. Tror också att snedbelastning från höften/ljumsken kan ha hjälpt till att irritera senan. Lösning: total avlastning, stretching av senan samt rehabövningar för att stärka foten och få in ett rakare steg. | details |

Ebbot | 275 days | This is a kind of problem which doesn't feel bad at all in the beginning. Its severeness only slowly grows until you suddenly understand that you really have a problem. Then it is much too late to be able to heal fast, and it's really difficult to rest the heel since you have to walk sometimes (resting e.g. an arm is much easier!). So my best advice is: don't neglect plantar facitiis-like pains in the heel, no matter how small they are! Get some help with it immediately, by finding someone wh... | details |

fiddlesqueak | 408 days | I put down "recovered", but not entirely true. It's no longer a "3"--probably hasn't been since July 2010... but now it's more like a "1" still. From Jul-Nov last year, still competed with lots of wrapping and ice. Orthotics in Nov helped a bit, not much training over winter. Started slow in spring and still can flare up on occasion, particularly after tough workouts/too many days in row, but generally manageable now. Can't help feeling though like it could worsen again at any time. | details |

cbruski | 427 days | The BEST exercises: 6/30 exercises (look up the video on youtube: https://youtu.be/kStuJAu0a20). Have been doing them EVERY single morning for the past four months, along with 3min calf stretches after each workout. The 6/30 exercises are the only thing that helped and they are keeping me moving and pain-free! Tight calves are a huge culprit for prolonging recovery from PF. Keep stretching those, and also do some MFR on them at bedtime :) | details |

Alibongo | 588 days | My feet have just adapted to running on them far more frequently than ever before and I've put softer insoles in my work shoes, which have arch supports and give some gentle cushioning. | details |

mattrooke | 878 days | Over 2 years and it might be on the mend. Lots of massaging, stretching and icing seems to have helped. Just done my first race (not including some walk/jog orienteering events in early 2012). Not quite there but I can do more running now than I have been able to for 2 years. Cause - switching to road rather than track when I finished uni. No more road running ever! | details |
khall | 889 days | On and off still, but not often an issue. Usually a few days of good calf stretching and foot curls makes it go again now. And never going barefoot, and insoles in the Crocs. Insoles in all my shoes, actualy. | details |
