I had plantar fascitis (sp) too. I got enough help with heel pads from the local drugstore, the thickest ones I could find. I also got more religious about standing on the cushy floor mat while at work.

In fact, I don't have heel pain at all now. So there's hope.

Whyizzit that the one place on the body where we want fat (the sole of the foot) is the one place it melts away from?
