This advice probably won't help Stearns, but it may give someone else some relief. When I first began reffing about 9 months ago, I developed P.F. Heck I had every --itis there is!! My physical trainer recommended this exercise: Stand on one leg, or you can do this lying down. Pull the other leg up with the knee into the armpit . Pull tight, while holding the other leg straight and back straight as possible. Do this for a cound of 10. Then other leg. repeat three or four times. Do this about once an hour, if possible throughout the day. Or when ever heel feels tight or sore. Do two rounds upon awaking before getting out of bed. I found this to do the trick, since I got on top of it before it was bad. Hope it helps someone else!
