terri74 Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Hi Everyone! I just joined as I recently got back into getting back into shape. I'm 42 and was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis about six months ago. I was devastated at the time. The pain, as many of you know, was debilitating. I had been a runner for most of my life and had only recently gotten back into roadwork when my heel pain started. I could barely walk let alone run. When I was first diagnosed, I thought it was the end of my days running and my goal of getting back into shape was dashed. But I'm happy to report by following my doctor's advice, changing the shoes I wear to run and get about town, being consistent in my stretches and wearing my night brace/split (when I can bear it), I am now back to running 3-5x a week and hope to race again one day! Anyway, happy to be here and look forward to sharing and learning to keep my feet happy! Terri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
