Years ago with that problem, I went to see a podiatrist who recommended orthodics. That was a big help. Got rid of the problem and was able to run again in 10 days.

Well, I opted not to have the shots and ended up having surgery. Was off my foot (workouts) for 4 weeks and have no pain now. So every situation is different. I think going to a foot doctor as opposed to the regular doctor may be a clue as to taking a shot as opposed to not taking one. My regular doctor told me the same thing: that the shots could weaken my tendons around the shot area. My foot doc said it wouldn't, as long as you rested it a few days. So I guess opinions vary, as do solutions to the problem.

We just started Fall Leagues and most of the guys that I knew were hurting the last time I saw them, seem to be moving pretty good after a few weeks rest. I prescribe that resting your dogs will help. Although, if you don't deal with it, pain will come back.

Just a quack observation from someone who has gone through a lot of foot pain in the last few years...If your pain is caused by incorrect posture or an awkward walk, the pain will come back. You have to fix the cause of chronic foot pain or it will recur.
Sometimes the wear pattern on your shoes can give a hint. If you walk with your feet pointed in or walk with your toes pointed out, your shoes will wear out on the inside or the outside of the sole, respectively. If, when you look at the them from the back, they look like \___| |___/ or |___/ \___|, then you will probably get foot pain every time you buy a new pair of shoes. If this is the case, make sure you wear an older pair of shoes to the podiatrist and show him the wear pattern. He may be able to give you orthotics that will straighten your walk out. If this is not the case, visit http://www.heelspurs.com for a good forum with people's experiences with various treatments, and you might be able to get some hints or practical advice.

Plantar Fasciitis
There is a new brace that really helps that Plantar Fasciitis. It's from a compnay called AirCast. You can go to their website and find out where one can be purchased. Either that or ask your doctor if he can get you one. I know a coupl eof guys that have used them and prolonged the cortisone shots. The product number that part is; 09A-B.
good luck, Tim
