Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting Plantar fasciitis, difficult pack hunt in 3 weeks, advice sought

It took almost 1 year for mine to heal up. My pain was worst in the morning, I'd have to hobble to the bathroom to pee. I don't know if the last doc was a genius but I did recover quickly afterward. He said first thing in the AM to get a handball and put it on the floor then roll your heel over it to "crush" the scar tissue that had built up in the night. His philosophy was that stretching and walking would re-tear but crushing would allow it to stretch after being crushed. He said to use a towel and stretch through the rest of the day. I also tried every pair of shoes I owned and my zero-drop shoes allowed my heel to make less contact and my foot hurt less.
