Each time, it took exactly 10 months to clear up. Each time I tried different treatments - including physical therapy, taping, cortisone shots, etc. Neither treatments made any difference in the time it took to make improvements. Of course the second time, it didn't help that it flared up right as I was to do a half marathon. I did the half and nearly wanted to cut off my foot by the end. The end results both times - it cleared up and I got orthotics (or new orthotics). I have found that crocs (and there are now some cute ones) are comfortable for standing around all day and I keep my eyes open for various inserts/cushions to make cute shoes more comfortable. Hope the pain goes away soon.Alyson Beecherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05943268196184314426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692381227518715081.post-26438456841169882002014-03-14T06:23:11.559-04:002014-03-14T06:23:11.559-04:00Leigh Anne, I can't believe that I fell asleep...Leigh Anne, I can't believe that I fell asleep reading slices last night! Yours did not get a comment! So here it is: When I had mine, I guess it wasn't as bad. But wearing shoes with good support is essential to keep it away! Dansko is my got o brand. I hope that you will heal quickly and can get to back your normal life. P.S. Get cute sandals that are also good for you (orthaheel??)Jaanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02027755562339582129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692381227518715081.post-41726444390272624592014-03-13T20:55:45.981-04:002014-03-13T20:55:45.981-04:00Oh, I've been through it all with plantar fasc...Oh, I've been through it all with plantar fasciitis, so I feel your pain. A few suggestions:<br />1) If you can, teach in Brooks Ariel sneakers. Kinda ugly, but they'll help!<br />2) If you cannot teach in sneakers, then invest in a couple pairs of Naot shoes. They're among only two brands of shoes I can wear since I started having problems with plantar fasciitis.<br />3) If the brace doesn't work, consider Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT). That is the only thing that truly broke up the problem in my foot. It's not an invasive treatment. It's costly, but like I said, it was the only thing that worked for me.<br /><br />I hope you feel better soon. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any Q's.Staceyhttp://twowritingteachers.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692381227518715081.post-79792518690739805302014-03-13T20:34:48.946-04:002014-03-13T20:34:48.946-04:00Oh dear...nothing worse for a teacher than foot or...Oh dear...nothing worse for a teacher than foot or back pain. Do you have a teaching stool? I bought one of these when I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, and it comes in handy all day.

You can tell because we all walk around in our tennis shoes. :) Follow the doctor's orders and you'll be fine. If it doesn't go away, don't be afraid of physical therapy. It really works! Good luck. <br />Julie Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10497758310228642932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692381227518715081.post-43306741369227148172014-03-13T14:44:29.543-04:002014-03-13T14:44:29.543-04:00Ouch.
