Suggest Treatment For Plantar Fasciitis
Question: I think I have plantar fasciitis. Shortly after taking a long walk in new tennis shoes, my feet began to ache horribly after sitting or laying down. After a few minutes of walking, they loosen up. I have been doing foot and calf stretches as well as rolling my feet on a can. It seams to help some but if I miss it even one night, the pain is back. Is there more I can be doing to expedite the healing of that tendon?
