    Hi
    Am in England. Been suffering with Plantar Faciitis for about 3 months. Walking is agony and every so often feels like something tears!! No treatment from doc apart from Naisaids. Will it ever get better? and can I claim mobility allowence or have blue parking badge to help?

    Re: plantar facitis

    get your lumbar spine looked at!

    i find i end up treating the lumbar spine for stiffness etc with the majority of people i see who present with "plantar fascitis" type complaints.

    i also use taping to unload the fascia to break the pain cycle.

    the usual stretching/strengthening as appropriate then aswell.

    Interestingly, my sister and I have both suffered from this from time to time and treat it with ibuprofen gel which seems to work quite well for us.

    Re: plantar facitis

    some easy exercises also usefull. but in my opinion the best one is
    first get a 1/2 lt. bottle of water and froze it..than roll it under your foot forward and backwards for 10 min.

    it really helps your plantar muscles to relax..afterward stretch gastocnemius muscle..additionally orthosis is a good option.
