I had hip replacement surgery on my right hip a few years back and I developed plantar fasciitis in my left foot while recovering.
If you have never had plantar fasciitis, it’s like waking up every morning with the feeling the bottom of your foot has been hit with a hammer.
II did all kinds of exercises and eventually over a few weeks it gradually went away.
I never stepped on a Punji stake until I had Plantar Fasciitis. Avid hunter, hiker, and jogger, so perhaps that caused it. Painful as all get out. Have had orthotics, cortisone, Strasburg Sock and every kind of device known to mankind. Now may need surgery. Not happy.
I had it about 10 years ago. It was on my heel, felt every time I took a step I was walking on nails. Very painful. Exercises helped. Today I wear plantar fasciitis shoe inserts and it helps.
I had it too and switched shoes to Vionic and Oboz. No more problems.
