Home Treatment for Plantar Fasciitis Relief

Stride Confidently Towards Home Relief Plantar fasciitis might try to slow you down, but with the right home strategies, you can confidently step towards relief. Let's explore the world of plantar fasciitis, that pesky pain in your heel that can throw a wrench into your daily stride.

I had a really good fencing practice today after a very difficult and discouraging practice last week. I even considered quitting. I had been struggling with my advance lunges. And tonight, my coach said my advance lunge was “beautiful” and that meant so much to me. I’m not giving up.

I’m going to go to the Olympics one day for fencing. And I will win gold.

I have a lot of disabilities that make it harder for me but I’m learning and progressing despite them. Some of them include plantar fasciitis and a complete lack of depth perception (despite have two working eyes.) I’m used to working harder to adapt to succeed despite my disabilities. This is what I want to do. So I’m going to do it. 😊

Causes of Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is a painful condition that can disrupt your life. Knowing the causes of plantar fasciitis can help you prevent it. Taking steps to protect the health of your feet can save you from a lot of pain over time.

Insoles and orthotics

Having flat feet means that your plantar fascia are more open to damage, which can lead to developing plantar fasciitis. Using arch supports, heel supports, or any kind of orthotics that put upward pressure onto any one part of the foot, risks damaging or irritating your plantar fascia. Avoid insoles or anything that causes additional pain or discomfort.

“Stretching the foot” is not beneficial

You may have seen recommendations for stretches or exercises such as rolling your foot on a tennis ball, step stretches, or doing towel stretches. Your plantar fascia is not actually designed to stretch very much at all, and stretching it can damage or reinjure your tissue. This is also true for massage. If you’re having any pain, rubbing and putting more pressure on to the area can lead to more irritation.

Cortisone does not help you to heal

It’s true that cortisone injections can reduce pain and swelling, but only temporarily. They can also cause a variety of side effects, including skin discoloration, infection, tissue thinning, and even leading to rupturing the plantar fascia. It’s best to avoid cortisone, if possible.

These are only a few of the potential causes of plantar fasciitis. Educate yourself with the facts, and protect your feet from developing plantar fasciitis – you can find more detailed information at the link below.

dude i hate having medical knowledge my heel hurts and im like ‘damn what if i have plantar fasciitis ☹️!?’ like a nerd

[crippleprophet]

hi i was wondering if you or any of your followers had tips for dealing with chronic muscle pain (specifically hip and knee).

nothing i’ve tried has seemed to help (pt, otc pain meds, ice, heat, rest, acupuncture, cbd lotion, epson salt baths, stretching). and i’ve peen told that the only pain meds that would help would be narcotics (which i can’t take due to family).

also everybody has seemed to circle back to “it’s because of your mental health that everything is shit”. and doctors refuse to do any tests past moving my legs around and poking at them.

so i will try almost anything. thank you

i’m so sorry you’re dealing with this, i have chronic muscle pain & i know it can easily be so debilitating. regardless of whether there’s a relationship with stress or whatever, your physical symptoms should still be fucking treated! the abject cruelty of not managing your pain aside, it’s almost like it’s harder to handle mental experiences when you’re in pain all the time… you don’t deserve this bullshit & i’m really sorry 🖤

i am suspicious of your being told that only narcotics would help tbh — i don’t doubt that many folks need narcotics to effectively treat their pain, & opioids have definitely been the most effective treatment for me when i have access to them (although more for nerve stuff than muscle) but there are definitely medications you haven’t been offered yet that might be helpful.

idk if you suspect that your muscle pain may be related to chronic illness but my muscle pain (including what was dismissed as untreatable fibromyalgia symptoms) improved dramatically when i got on an immunosuppressant (hydroxychloroquine in my case). if you haven’t gotten a basic rheumatology blood panel done by your GP it could be worth a shot as my elevated inflammatory markers led to that prescription even though i’m definitely underdiagnosed.

i’m also like, really pissed nobody’s given you a muscle relaxer jesus christ. i’m on 4mg tizanidine from my PCP & it’s been immensely helpful for my muscle pain, i choose to take it probably once a week because it’s more effective at knocking me out all night that way lol but i also use it as a rescue medication when i’m having severe cramps. really helpful to just get a fucking break & some decent sleep every so often. in that thread i’m planning to ask about starting prazosin at my next appointment, it’s prescribed for nightmares (which i def have lol) but can prompt a certain level of muscle relaxation which is part of how it helps with sleep

idk if this is an option for you due to family etc but delta8 (weed equivalent that’s technically legal in the US) has been vital for managing my own pain. expensive as shit but so it goes.

idk if you already use a mobility aid or if that’s an option for you but it could be worth looking into! redirecting some of the force applied to your muscles might make things like walking easier or could help with balance if you experience sudden weakness / cramps.

super depends on your situation but it could be worth paying attention to your feet as well, getting plantar fasciitis house shoes vastly improved my knee-hip-back pain, knees in particular. mine was more joint related than muscular but from studying biomechanics it’s all interrelated & from my perspective anything that helps may make it a bit easier to keep going until you find a better long-term solution. so even if it doesn’t seem related to your pain if there’s anything that might make your life easier right now i encourage you to consider it!

other folks feel free to respond with things that have been effective for you! i really hope you find some solutions that make things more bearable for you 💓💓

Loved your post about the thai food place. Any advice for someone who is new to dealing with fibromyalgia other than curry?

sure!! but please keep in mind that fibromyalgia is a condition that varies from person to person. it left me in a very bad place (didnt help that it really came on in january when it’s super cold and it made my muscles tighter), but here’s what helped me:

- physical therapy (i go twice a week)

- medication (most common used are lyrica and gapabentin)

- stress management/counseling (stress really affects fibromyalgia. i already have anxiety, so when i would get really stressed, my body would respond by tightening my muscles more) i have a stim blog that i go to that has nice imagery, i have a playlist as well and sensory toys that help soothe me. whatever gets you in a chill place is great. im already in counseling for other things, but being able to express and process how shitty my condition can be is really beneficial.

- stretching (god this is so important. gentle stretching to get those ligaments, tendons, and muscles moving. my problem areas are my neck/shoulders/arms/hands. our bodies natural response to pain is to tighten and that’s the opposite of what you want)

- gentle movement (again, as much as i want to just not move at all, going about my day as regularly as possible is key. not overdoing it, but not shutting down completely. i am on disability pay and cannot work, so im fortunate to not require a lot of heavy movement.)

- heat (heat helps relax your muscles. hot showers and heating pads are my friends. and while they’re more expensive, infrared heating pads provide a deeper penetration without so much surface heat that can lead to burns)

- ice (for extremely bad pain, i go to ice as it numbs the pain. i also use ice on my feet because they’re also affected. i put water bottles in the freezer and then roll me feet along them. this also helps for plantar fasciitis)

- hydration/food (hydrating is a given, and with food you have to be very careful. there are certain foods that can trigger your fibro, and foods that can help. i’m really bad with food that can help, but cutting back on sugar and caffeine has really helped. here is an article with some guidelines. there are a lot of other articles out there, too) i think that's about it for what has helped for me. it's a complex condition. it also helps that i have a social circle that looks out for me too. this is not a kind diagnosis, and it's lifelong. but finding what works for you in battling it is important. i wish you luck. <3

sorry this post is so long and one more thing, this book is incredibly helpful, it's like a bible. i got it for about $20 on amazon.

[charon-cries]

if it's not too personal an ask/you don't mind sharing: what is your disability/illness? I have something that sounds similar and it's nice to see someone with the same worries/struggles.

no worries! i have fibromyalgia + chronic plantar fasciitis. both of them run in my family; my aunt and my grandmother were both diagnosed with fibromyalgia a few years after they turned 18 and i started developing it when i was twelve. and a good deal of people on my mom's side of the family has plantar fasciitis as well. apparently, that usually goes away, but literally no one in my family has ever been able to get rid of it so the doctors diagnosed it as chronic for me right off the bat based on my medical history haha

fibromyalgia tends to vary for different people from my experience, so for context: i can't sit in one position for too long and need to adjust almost constantly or i'll be super super achey the next day. i can only really stand for about five minutes without pain, but i can push it to about 45 minutes before i start getting into the "i'm about to collapse" territory. and i can walk for about two hours (with breaks) before my physical timer runs out.

if i DO end up pushing it on either of those things, then i tend to be pretty out of commission for the next at least three days, in which i can't really move without pretty terrible muscle pain & my leg muscles will get extremely stiff and difficult to stretch because of the plantar fasciitis.

i don't get migraines (as in actual migraines— i do get pretty bad headaches but i'm sure that's caffeine addiction related) but i DO experience some mild brain fog where i tend to forget unimportant facts (such as birthdays or my exact age) and have trouble stringing together efficient and complete sentences.

i also tend to get random-ish pain flare-ups, typically at the start and end of winter, where i experience all of that ^ but from just sitting around on my couch like some guy.

i once housesat for a dogowner for a week, and the only exercise i did the entire time was taking her on two five-minute walks a day, and by the end of the seven days i was in full smegol from lotr stance for like a full seven days after hahah

all of this stuff, of course, is inconsistent— there are some days where i'm able to be out for a few hours, deal with some pretty bad pain that day, and be at baseline the next morning. it's a mystery to me. anyway that's all, i hope this helps ^^

effie + body modifications trigger warnings : body modifications, body dysmorphia, medical, child abuse, coercion. there is one medical illustration of a ribcage under the cut.

rather than focusing on all the modifications effie has had over the years, i'm gonna keep this pretty short and simple and just talk about the ones she still has. effie has had many procedures and modifications done over the years. capitol fashion is more than just clothes, after all ( as we see with characters like tigris ), and effie is no different in doing whatever she has to in order to chase current fashion trends.

after the 74th games and the end of her engagement, effie removes a majority of her modifications. she only kept three main ones to her ribcage, feet, and legs, which are described in more detail below.

reshaped ribcage. wearing tight-lacing corsets will mess with you if you wear them for a long time, and effie has been wearing things to alter her shape for pretty much her whole life. this restricted her ability to breathe, and after thg, effie has the lower part of her ribcage replaced to allow her to breathe more easily and maintain a more natural body shape. this is the only one of her main three alterations that happened after the 74th games; the others happened before.

feet curving. this is the only real aesthetic/cosmetic change that effie kept. she cannot unpoint her toes, and always walks like she's on her tiptoes, which made it easier for her to wear heels, but also eased the pain she has from plantar fasciitis (inflamed tissue in her heels).

reinforced tibias. realistically, this is because her legs are weak af. effie has shin splints as a result of the wearing away of cartilage in her knees and strain on her shins from wearing heels. she was really doomed to fail from a young age with this one. her shins are very weak because of this displaced pressure, and when she got her procedure on her feet, this followed swiftly after to compensate.

Scottsdale was nice aside from the nonstop work commitments! A list of random stuff:

I’m going to make cabbage rolls for the first time tonight

My therapist is back from leave so I guess I’ll start that up again

Since she went on leave I started up physical therapy and I believe there is life after plantar fasciitis and maybe even life after a shitty hip

Tomorrow is our dating anniversary which I guess doesn’t really count but anyway it’s been 17 years! I’m not old enough for that!

I tried an epilepsy drug for my migraines and didn’t tolerate that well, so at least now I can move on to shit that’s made for migraines. Insurance is dumb.

Most of these were medical so I guess I am in fact old enough to have a 17 year old relationship.

[dangraccoon]

ugh.

I'm sorry I've been so absent. I'm really trying to post more for you all.

more info under the cut

i think ive mentioned that i have various health issues and conditions before

the big ones affecting me right now are seasonal affective disorder, fribromyalgia/chronic pain syndrome, and plantar fasciitis in both feet and on top of all that, i am currently transitioning.

theres a lot of financial strain on me at the moment; my fiance's income is the only one we have. i'm too disabled to work a regular job but not disabled enough to receive disability income. thanks america. but yeah i owe over $1400 to various medical offices in addition to the ongoing copays for my various meds (a month's worth of t is $60), thanks america, AND i'm about to turn 26 next month, after which i will no longer be able to be on my parents' health insurance, thanks america.

all that to say that if i continue to be somewhat absent I'm very sorry

In order to help with my plantar fasciitis, I have been reserving half an hour each day to sit and read while I have my foot propped up with ice on it.

The jury is still out as to whether this is helping with the medical issue, but I'm making great progress on my TBR pile.

[mcatmemoranda]

There are splints you can wear at night for plantar fasciitis.

Had a pt come in with plantar fasciitis. Discussed using arch supports in shoes, taking anti-inflammatory medication prn, rolling tennis ball or frozen water bottle under his foot, wearing a night splint, and doing hamstring stretching exercises to loosen the plantar fascia.

It takes a long time for it to feel better.
