Minor in the scheme of things and what others have on their plate at the moment but both MrLtL and I have developed plantar fasciitis - his is well on the mend now as it's been a couple of months, mine is still causing me some pain. Inserts in shoes help but then muscles not used to the change let me know they aren't happy. I think I know what caused it - I thought I would do some exercise so moral of the story???

Been to a podiatrist? MrP had this last year and very painful. Still wears orthotics now but buys the silicone ones recommended by them. Fixed in about a month. Six months ago I restarted at the gym. I was doing one of the recommended exercises using the steps. The steps separated as I reached the top and collapsed as did I. Flat thankfully on my back but cheek was very tender and also strained my thumb. Went back a week or so later then after the 6 months required guilt join I cancelled. Never felt so good.

Got that a couple of months ago too. Of course immediately followed by a cruise with 15k steps/day - crippled when put my feet up to rest.

Physio has an impact wrench he puts on the spot. Actually a little tool that vibrates at high speed to stimulate the fascia.

Podiatrist already has me in orthotics.

BTW they put me on a neat app ‘Move Health’. Describes the specified exercises and reps and includes a video of each, so you can keep checking the way to do it properly.
