Think I was kind of lucky then. Mine passed after a couple of weeks. Sawing through a branch up the allotment and thought I'd stamp on it. Big mistake,it needed more sawing. Never heard of the condition but funny enough when I was in A & E met another patient there who also had it. My sympathies to anyone living with this condition. Very, very painful and made me appreciate having good mobility as it obviously massively affects getting about.

Suffered with mine for around 12 months and was off from work for around 8 months. Volteral worked for a short time before the pain was back. Afterwards that's when I had injections in both feet.

Felt to me like the needle hits something hard and then a continuous push.
Horrid, horrid pain.

Some folk suffer a burning sensation afterwards in which I did which lasted for around 24-48 hours before going away.

I have recently recovered from Plantar Fasciitis and all i had to do was physio and muscular strengthening. Tried insoles, changing footwear etc and nothing would help
my physio said if i had an issue with my hamstring for example, that would eventually have a knock on effect on other muscles and tendons in my leg. I did lots of strengthening and stretching in my glutes, hamstrings, calves and achilles and within 3/4 months i was completely pain free

Tried physio myself along with insoles and painkillers but unfortunately didn't work for me.
Pleased to hear that it worked for yourself as it's so nasty.

I am experiencing pain like you wouldn't believe at the moment. It's not in the heel but around the edge at the front of my left foot, near my small toe.
Doctors are stumped, been for x-rays but they can't find anything wrong.
I was due to go and see a specialist and maybe have a scan on my foot, but this was called off due to coronavirus so ended up just having a telephone consultation with said specialist. Had him really stumped as well, he just send me some insoles.
They are helping but I'm still getting this pain. Feels like somebody is sticking a red hot knife through my foot.
My pain threshold is reasonably high, but this pain when it comes is around 9 on my personal 1-10 scale.
It's so bad that I had to pull the car over the other day because I couldn't depress the very light clutch.
I can just be sitting there, no weight on my feet at all, and it just comes in waves.
Can go three or four days without any real discomfort and then bang!!
At a loss, because when it's really hurting I can't walk.

Seems nasty. Keep persevering, keep going to the doctors etc etc and hopefully you'll get that scan and have it sorted out with a proper diagnosis. Sounds worse than the plantar itself.

I have used them and they "seemed" to provide some comfort but maybe it was just the pressure as they are quite tight. I ended up with one over the other to increase the arch padding to see if it helped but it really didnt.
I also used the shaped support ankle bandage type thing and this also didn't work.
When i saw the specialist for assessment before my injections i asked him if any of these pads or tension bandages actually heleped at all and he said they're all a load of rubbish

I have just spoke with the specialist (telephone consultation) and I will be having another injection in about a months time.
