[QUOTE="stevetheupsguy, post: 1189901, member: 9662"] STOP and WAIT before you do cortisone!!! Cortisone eventually causes the breakdown of the cartilage in your joints, so the chance of relief may in fact, cause pain in the future. Plantar as with many tendon issues are usually caused by tight muscles surrounding the area of soreness. For instance, tight calves pulling on the Achilles, which in turn gives heal/plantar pain. Well maintained muscle usually cuts down on any joint pain. Massages, rolling out, stretching are all good ways to maintain muscles, tendons and joints. Another culprit are worn out/poorly fitting shoes. For this I recommend people go to an established running shoe store, podiatrist, chiropractor or physical therapist to have a gait analysis performed. This will help you find the right shoe for your individual feet and stride. I don't recommend N'Said's or any other medications because the pain that is there is just your body's way of letting you know that something is not right. Once you correct the issue, the pain WILL subside. Remember, just like car tires need to be changed after so much use, so do shoes, no matter how much we like them. I wear mine 3-4 months and jump in a new pair. Of course this depends on the amount of use, but shoes that have medium to heavy use, usually have broken down by 3-4 months. [/QUOTE]
