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

I've had three outbreaks of plantar fasciitis and two of them were a month or so before CO elk hunts. One of the hunts was a backpack hunt. My doctor suggested that I reduce my (running/walking cardio) training and spend more time with stretching exercises and rolling a frozen bottle of water on the bottom of my foot. He also suggested taking Ibuprofen. I muddled through both hunts only minor discomfort.
