How Can Pain In The Heels Due To Plantar Fasciitis Be Treated?
I think I have plantar fascitis, more pronounced in my left heel, but in both. I have a lot of pain after long drives and lately after a night s sleep on my back. My heels hurt so bad when I wake up, it is hard to walk when I first get up. What can I do to alleviate this?
