View Full Version : How long to recover from Plantar Fasciatis?

I have self diagnosed myself with Plantar Fasciatis. After finding the right shoe, I have been
running injury free for a year. My run last Saturday was no different than my normal run other than
I ran slightly faster. Sunday night my right foot hurt so bad I couldn't walk. I thought it was a
cramp. It eased up the side of my ankle. Monday morning it hurt bad. I limped all day and iced it
Monday night. That helped. I walked around barefooted and that agrevated it even more. Since then I
have iced it twice a day and have worn shoes at all times (except the shower : )). Should I postpone
my runs until it is completley healed? How long is the norm if I rest and ice it? I have started
stretching my calf and feet several times a day. I don't want to wear a boot to bed.

Also, could it be that the midsole of my shoe has worn down? I don't have that many miles on them,
but they haven't given me problems before now.

It doesn't sound like PF to me. PF usually hurts the first few steps after getting out of bet, or
getting up from being seated for awhile, then stops hurting.

PF pain is usually in the area of the heel.
