what is plantar facetious? how do you cope with it?

Question:

Answers:
It's actually "plantar fasiitis". It involves a long tendon on the underside of the foot, which attaches the toe muscles to the heel. It's often experienced as "heel pain", on the underside of the heel. It's an inflammation of this tendon.

Mild cases can be treated w stretching exercises, to help stretch the tendon, and make it more flexible; soaking the foot in Epsom salts helps also.

For severe cases, it's best to see a podiatrist.

If I remember this right, my doctor called my falling arches by that term.
It was a painful process but when the "falling" was complete the pain went away. There wasn't much I could do about it.
She explained about a certain muscle and tendon seperating in my foot that was causing the pain.
I just toughed it out for a couple of monthes and it went away.
OTC pain relievers might help a little.

it needs some stretching...try getting a tennis ball or some ball about that size, or maybe golf ball size, whatever works for you...sit in a chair and roll the ball up and down under your foot with some pressure...that should help stretch it
