I have been to my doctor and she just gave me exercises to do and told me to ice it. A friend told me about a Good Feet store in Denver but I can't decide if I should go or see how the Dr. Scholl's inserts work. I have Friday off so I will see how they are working by then. You went to your regular family Dr or a poditrists? This type of thing requires a Poditrists. Trust me the family Dr isn't going to help in this case. A good Pod or Orthopedist will be well worth the money! My son has orthotics and his feet never hurt now.

Having had plantar facitis and currently working on eliminating it I highly recommend doing a google search on it. I have high arches and the insoles. That helps. But the thing that is REALLY helping to ease this is the leg stretching. The facitis comes around when there is an abnormality in stride. For me, I have found, when I haven't exercised & Stretched appropriately the facitis acts up. I have VERY tight hamstrings and Glutes. Believe it or not, I firmly believe this is the cause of the onset of the facitis. I do the basic Yoga Plank stretch for glute stretch. I make sure the hips flexors are stretched. Then I make sure to elongate the achilles tendon, & do a stretch to the front calf muscles. Alot of this is online. Standing for many hours is probably tightening you hams & quad muscles. Welcome Yankee!

Chiropractors can also help you get custom orthotic insoles made. There are many types, from plastic, to leather to graphite. I would start with a podiatrist and see what they can do to help you. It is worth whatever it costs to be rid of foot pain.
