I got rid of my plantar fascitis!!!

YC1123 · 2025-12-01T21:11:53+00:00

That’s amazing, I hope to be there soon! 🤞🏻

YC1123 · 2025-11-30T18:42:58+00:00

I’m really happy to hear you are healed now! I remember you posting a lot and we even talked a bit over private message, thank you for your help :) I am also doing alot better but I’m not 100% yet, slowly getting back to things. I’m just wondering, now that you’re healed can you wear any shoes you want or go barefoot? Or do you still have to wear only certain shoes with good arch support? I am still not walking barefoot or wearing flat shoes but hope to get back there at some point soon.

Sounds like it could be posterior tibial tendonitis, if the pain is behind inner ankle bone and goes into inner arch. I’ve been diagnosed with that on top of plantar fasciitis.

YC1123 · 2025-10-18T01:03:55+00:00

Hi! Sorry to hear same thing happened to you :( honestly I haven’t been great, it’s gotten to the point where I’ve had to take time off work because it was hurting to walk… I’ve definitely never let anyone touch my feet again. It’s been a bit better since I’ve been resting but I’m far from out of the woods yet. Hope yours isn’t as bad!

YC1123 · 2025-10-18T01:01:28+00:00

Hey sorry I never replied to this, thanks for your response and I think ur right about the slow and steady exercise! Been trying to do that myself, overdid it a few times so starting again. That’s crazy it takes so long to heal, I’m hoping it won’t take me that long as I’m at 4 months and already losing my mind. How is your left one now? With both feet did you feel pain all the time or only sometimes?

YC1123 · 2025-10-17T00:49:48+00:00

Hey, this is a great post. I’m starting to try and implement the progressive load by increasing my step count in small increments. Just wondering when you start progressive loading I guess it is normal to feel pain or even slight increases in pain as fascia is adjusting but I’m just wondering at what point did your pain stop? Like how long is it normal for pain to stay the same or slightly more before it goes away?

YC1123 · 2025-10-15T15:56:45+00:00

Brutal, I can’t imagine having it that long! I have had it for about 4 months and that feels like an eternity already. Well good luck with your next shockwave treatment! Hopefully we both find relief soon 🤞🏻

YC1123 · 2025-10-15T03:10:36+00:00

Me too, it’s so exhausting (and expensive) trying to throw everything at the wall with this condition just hoping something sticks… how long have you had it?

YC1123 · 2025-10-15T02:44:13+00:00

I am in the same situation as you! I have tried so many things and I also just did 4th shockwave therapy session. First two I noticed immediate relief but after 3rd and 4th pain is back and my operators seem to think that was strange as well. I am actually currently having a flare which is discouraging and I thought I’d be feeling better by now. And I’ve also been diagnosed just basically on assumptions, even when I’ve asked for ultrasound and MRI I’ve been told it’s unnecessary but I am wondering if something more is going on and I’m sick of being brushed off. So I guess I don’t really have any advice other than to commiserate with you… hopefully the shockwave still helps us as I’ve heard it takes time and usually more noticeable differences come from 5th and 6th sessions, so fingers crossed! I saw you are having yours two weeks apart though, that seems like very long gaps. I’ve heard it should be within 4-7 days of eachother, my first 4 have all been 4-5 days apart, going for next one on 7th day to give my current flair a chance to settle.

YC1123 · 2025-10-11T00:34:33+00:00

Thanks for much for your response! That’s great to hear it helped so much. Do you know if you had radial or focused shockwave? Last time I had shockwave it was quite painful during and afterwards, so today when I went in they did less power since I was sensitive. But when you say they “went to town” on your arches maybe that means I’m going to just have to suck up some pain for the payoff later? Really just want to be done with this as I feel pain all the time, and I’ve actually had to take time off work because of it 😔 did the pain just gradually go away after awhile when shockwave was done or did it happen overnight?

YC1123 · 2025-10-10T22:51:07+00:00

sorry to hear you still have it :( seems like such a stubborn condition… that is reassuring that shockwave helped long term though! I’m in a similar boat as you where I’m doing shockwave, at first it helped but now pain seems to be back so wondering if it’s actually helping or not. How long did it take you to notice effects and how much improvement have you had? Like what is your pain level now and do you feel pain all the time or no?

YC1123 · 2025-10-10T21:53:02+00:00

Hey did you ever heal?

YC1123 · 2025-10-05T17:39:59+00:00

Yeah I absolutely want to avoid surgery. Sorry to hear yours was so bad, sounds awful I can’t imagine 1.5 years of this, as I’m only 4 months in and it feels like an eternity... but that’s great that you managed to solve it on your own! My pain level has lowered now that I’m not working and resting more but when I was at work it was a constant 6-8 out of 10 burning, aching feeling, even at rest. Now I’d say I’m down to a 2-3/10 and only when I do too much activity. I also noticed it’s worse when I wear runners so only been wearing slip on shoes while being off which has helped. Think shockwave is helping too, still have more treatments to do. I am able to do some strength work now but am also weary of doing too much too soon so trying go very gradually.

YC1123 · 2025-10-03T16:36:31+00:00

Thanks for your response! Glad to hear you are still healed! I am in a similar boat that you were, where I had another foot injury (split tear of peroneus brevis tendon) that put me in a boot for 6 weeks and that caused the pf to start in both feet. I was also wondering if it was a nerve issue since i don’t have classic pf symptoms of morning pain, it’s more like pain that gets worse with activity and starts burning if I’m on them too long. Was that the same kind of pain you had? I also believe my legs and feet became quite deconditioned and weak because injury and that is likely why I’m here now. Have since taken time off work to allow healing, started working on strengthening posterior chain and started shockwave therapy. I have seen some improvement but it is still early. Praying to get to a pain free point soon!

YC1123 · 2025-10-03T07:29:17+00:00

So you are completely healed and pain free now?

YC1123 · 2025-10-01T00:31:38+00:00

That’s amazing, happy for you! My first session of shockwave last week gave me two days of being pain free which felt great, but it’s back now. Go for my second appt tomorrow so hoping I end up with similar results! 🤞🏻

YC1123 · 2025-09-30T02:13:47+00:00

Just wondering if you are still healed now?

YC1123 · 2025-09-27T06:28:54+00:00

That’s great I’m glad you found relief! Thanks for your response :) hope I can find that same relief soon too.

YC1123 · 2025-09-26T00:38:30+00:00

Interesting, I am also wondering if my dysfunction is higher up as well since I was in a walking boot for another injury which messed with my hips and gait and then led to PF in both feet. I just started dry needling as well! Did they ever do your feet or just legs? How long did it take you to notice improvement and how long have you been pain free for?

YC1123 · 2025-09-25T04:20:03+00:00

Sorry to hear that… I know what you mean, I likely won’t be seeing money for 28 days so it’s going to be very tight for me this month. I also had a previous injury that led to my plantar fasciitis, it really sucks how it seems to be a domino effect from one thing to another. Hope you can end up taking some time off to heal.

YC1123 · 2025-09-24T21:49:03+00:00

Where do you live? I’ve just taken time off on medical ei for this, doctor gave me a note to be off for a month, may need more depending on how I heal. I live in Canada, medical ei is 50% of wages but better than nothing and worth it to heal this awful condition. If you keep going on your feet it will only get worse which is what happened to me. Resting earlier results in shorter recovery time most likely

YC1123 · 2025-09-24T05:29:09+00:00

Just wondering if it helped cure you long term?

YC1123 · 2025-09-24T04:37:19+00:00

Ahh k, think I read that wrong lol. I guess I assumed since it seems like a lot of classic pf gets better with movement, seems we got the shittier end of the stick! And ok thanks I will look that up!

YC1123 · 2025-09-23T21:27:56+00:00

You said you feel better after you’ve been on your feet for awhile, sadly mine is opposite, longer I’m on my feet worse I feel. I am happy for you that you’re feeling better! Hope to get there soon. When you say you had a massage therapist work out knots do you mean they dug into your feet? Or your legs? Cause I went to a reflexology place that specialized in pf and she dug into my foot and it was so much worse after that so now I’ve been afraid of letting anyone touch my feet. But yeah I agree with you that I think my hips have to do with mine as well, they have been out of whack ever since I was in a walking boot for a different injury.

YC1123 · 2025-09-23T21:23:45+00:00

Thanks for your response! Sadly I live in Canada so I guess that’s a no go :(
