[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1189589, member: 43436"] I began showing symptoms of it in my early 20s but ignored them until it progressed to the point of misery. Literally, instead of enduring a few moments of pain the in morning, my feet stiffen virtually anytime I "rested" for more than a few moments and the cycle would start over again. I went to a podiatrist who gave me some stretching exercises to perform along with a pair of OTC orthopedic insoles that cost $20. Because of my age he did not want to give me a cortisone shot, or perform surgery (and custom orthopedics cost about $400 and as the company-controlled insurance plan does not cover it, I declined them). It took several months, but the pain began to fade away. FWIW, while it's rare before middle age, and usually caused in youth/young adulthood by being overweight, mine was because I had the tendency to wear my shoes too long. I wore my work shoes for over two years, my work out shoes for several years and my casual shoes for nearly eight years. Even though the shoes appeared to be in good shape and I replaced the insoles regularly, they were well worn and not providing enough cushion. [/QUOTE]
