Those who have had plantar fasciitis, have you ever tried Kuru

5. Mine started when I injured my heel bone

About 4 yrs ago I went to a (quack)podiatrist and after three appointments he was of the opinion that surgery was necessary and I had a bone spur. After reading quite a bit about it on the net I determined a conservative approach was more appropiate. Did stretching with a tennis ball and other routines.

Then I also found Dr. Scholls inserts with complete insoles (approx $20) and the ones for the heals (approx $10) used together worked good. This was after trying a few other things. Of course, I also went to using Sketchers WIDE FIT tennis shoes exclusively (I have wide feet). After about 18 months the plantar fasciitis was hardly an issue. And after four years I am pretty sure it's gone. You just have to remember to always baby and think of your feet when you got it. Try not to let anyone cut into you if you don't have to because you will never be the same. A couple of hernia surgeries have helped me learn that lesson

Think of it as an investment for not having surgery (which 6o to 70% doesn't work anyway)
