Thanks y’all.

I’ve had plantar fascia off and on since high school. Been through many kinds and styles of orthotics and even tried the Good Feet store. Seen many a doc podiatrist etc….. and even went to a running shoe store last time. They watched me walk. Recommended my “super feet” inserts. Amazon. Of course. And my New Balance kicks.
It’s been about 8 years since last flare up. Trying everything I can remember over the years. Especially the stretching, icing, rolling, and now this. It was recommended to me before but it was a big boot to sleep in. Didn’t want that.
This was like the medium sized one. I’ll give it time. I sleep great 
so no worries there. It’s always taken a while to get over it.
I take plenty of naps. Almost getting over the lazy stigma of it @SinceIAwoke I’m retired now so it’s time I get over that.
Never heard of the ultrasound wand 
@Smitty97 What’s that all about?
Thanks for the tips.
And it can definitely FRO!

Hi Eric sorry to hear you struggling with PF. Have you heard of Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy ( ESWT ) i had it done last year when podiatry were investigating my pain. Sadly for me it’s neuropathy and not PF. Might be worth looking into.

Nope. Never heard of that one.
Sorry you got that neuropathy. I got that too. But I think mine is a mild case. I don’t know an extreme case. Anyway. Just some nights I can’t have the covers on my feet. Cold and tingly all the time. Same with my fingers sometimes. Had a bunch of tests done. Probably damage from drinking 45 years. She said it shouldn’t get worse if I don’t drink. But won’t get better. Hope yours isn’t too bothersome.

For me it’s constant, a mixture of numbness and pain i can’t quite describe. It’s both feet hands and even my head since being prescribed Thiamine a couple of months ago I felt a fair amount of improvement and regained some energy which to me was like a miracle. However this made my brain think hey I can probably get away with drinking again. I did and noticed patterns of pain coming on strong again afterwards. Basically I have alcoholic neuropathy and I think alcohol abuse over the years caused damage to my digestive tract. I was told a few years ago I have esophagusitis. Severe Gerd and stomach issues especially after drinking. It looks like this damage has been stopping my body from absorbing Vitamin B1 from my food. This can lead to neuropathy, memory issues and severe fatigue, which ticks all my boxes. So here I am back to square one, but this time armed with this knowledge. If i STOP drinking I have a chance of reversing my issues. If I continue I can become quite poorly. Only time will tell but one things for sure I’ll never drink alcohol again.

US therapy can assist in healing, especially with scarations. Generates heat in deep tissues and promotes blood flow mainly. Works better on my neck/back muscles than my .
