Twice now in my life I have been plagued by The Monster(planters fasciitis). There was some things that I have found and that gave me relief. I tried the exercises,cortacosteroid shots,ice,orthotics,anti-inflammatory drugs,the cast,and the calcium-magnesun pills,none of them worked. The birkenstock sandles,nike air running shoes with orthics.never let bare feet touch the floor. take exrecise in a bottle daily--found at eckerds. It will take a little while but it will work. Nothing helped me for over a year each time,but now i can walk without a limp or pain. I heard that the surgery was not always successful and i was very wery of it.
