Start slow and build up to wearing them all the time, even around the house, and do stretching exercises for your feet. You'll beat it.Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12866053304972928398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-19155504961575986732007-10-01T21:10:00.000-06:002007-10-01T21:10:00.000-06:00Sorry to hear about your latest pain challenge, I ...Sorry to hear about your latest pain challenge, I had similar earlier this summer. Google plantar fasciitis, there are several remedies and different ones work for different people with the same condition. I have Dr. Scholls inserts designed for heel pain, they add arch support and I wear them all the time, even cycling, and don't have a bit of pain any more. You also should stretch your calves and hamstrings and even the bottoms of your feet, tightness in any of these places can contribute. Rolling a golf or tennis ball under your foot may help. Ice might help. A lot of cycling can cause this even if you don't hike much. The good news is that the condition is not permanent and with care can be beaten.<BR/>Once again, I really love you pics!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-601712269941804932007-10-01T18:20:00.000-06:002007-10-01T18:20:00.000-06:00Sorry to hear you are hurt!

Check you insurance and call around to PT's who might make them.
