Good tips here.... I was diagnosed with PF too. I got a pair of off the shelf orthodics for my high arches with foam heel lifts that go under them from my doctor, doing stretches about twice a day, trashed the flip flops for crocs, and wear only enclosed shoes and good ASICS now. Ibuprofen helped at first but don't like to take stuff so stopped that after a while and concentrated on other solutions such as just staying off the foot until it was better. Gained 3 lbs but back to walking and climbing hills for exercise now. Also doing the stretches after warming up a bit. Much better, and have learned not to chance it or push it.

(How does the frozen bottle exercise work??? sitting, standing, reps???)
