I've never been diagnosed with P.F., but I believe I suffer from it too, however maybe not at the level of pain discussed here. I did research on my symptoms, and P.F. is what I came up with. Sore heal (especially in the morning after games), periodic sharp pain along the heal and arch area. I started using a towel to flex my heal and foot in the morning. I didn't think something that simple could work, but it did miracles during the season. Another remedy for me was to make sure I stretched my calves prior to games. After about 3-4 weeks off from games, my self-diagnosed P.F. is flaring up again as I've been doing AAU stuff. My efforts to treat it have been good so far. Hopefully it won't get worse. The problem has been with my left foot, but I stretch my right as well.
By the way, anyone know why P.F. has become so prevalent? Seems like a lot of athletes have been dealing with it in recent years.
