[QUOTE="bears2, post: 387389, member: 167"] I too have had this dreaded foot problem and have for about 4 years. I consider myself a "expert" on the problem.1st let let me say i went to a podiatrist (foot specialist) and a pretty good one i might add. He told me that almost everyone has some sort of bone spur to some degree and unless its a very bad spur he wouldnt do surgery.He also told me what plantar fasciitis is and its got to do with tendons in the arch basically. H etold me that he wouldnt do surgery unless it was a last straw as he said and im sure you have heard, surgery of the foot doesnt always help.too many small bones etc. He tapped up my foot and to my amazement the painw as totally gone.Of course 5-6 days later the tap started coming off and the pain returned.So i went on the internet and looked how to tap up a foot/plantar fasciiatis style. It is easy to find so google it. The confusing way i can tell ya is to get athletic tape and run it around the side of your foot,little toe -down side of foot, in back of heel around to big toe. then on bottom of foot take a strip of tape an run it like a x. from ball of foot by the pinkie toe to corner of your heel.then a peice from ball by your big toe to corner of heel.like a x dont forget. then take strips side to side on the bottom of your foot. from one side of your foot to the other covering your whole foot. when you do all this dont let your foot dangle.kinda flex it upwards. honestly take what i said an google to find a picture.it helps 100%. it will stay on for at least a week. you will go through some tape but it helps greatly.also a minor way to help is to stretch your foot.another way is kroger has a new p.friend.
