Extreme Veteran Posts: 338 Hi, I would guess that plantar faxcitis has many forms and degrees of severity, although I think by the time we notice it is hurts big time. It feels like it will never heal. I am not writing to tell you what to do,but to give MY experience. First I have to say that I had plantar fascitis and it was explained to me as an injury coming from chronic conditions regarding my gait and my arch. I had to do foot exercises and I continue to wear orthodics. It was painful and I had to avoid being barefoot as much as possible. I believe one of the exarcabations ( causes) is tight hamstrings. I have found a connection between loosening my hanstrings and the pain decreasing. I didn't start yoga until about 10 months after my injury, when it was mostly healed. I continue to wear orthodics but only occasionally experience pain. I was actually helped by a podiatrist, I don't hink it takes a genius to treat this, it's relatively common.

Sometimes you can get some good, alternative medical info that way. Doctors don't always know everything. I had some back problems that the docs couldn't figure out. Only a couple yoga geniuses were able to help me and I'm relatively pain free now. Peace, Gwyn
