Plantar fasciitis......Any of you ever had this? Last week I developed really bad pain in the arch of my left foot. Didn't do anything to it, it just started hurting really bad. Got to the point I can't really put weight on it. I went to the ortho doctor and he said it was plantar fasciitis, which is basically inflammation of the bottom of the foot. Apparently there's not much you can do about, except rest the foot, take over the counter pain meds, and get arch supports and do stretching exercises for the foot. I am on my feet all for work, so resting it won't work. Have any of had this??? If so, what did you do to heal it?

My dad always said getting old isn't for sissies!
