Plantar Fasciitis
(2 discussions)
My podiatrist and GP tell me I have Fasciitis. I’ve been fitted with custom orthodics and have been wearing them for 6 months. They help, however my feet still hurt. The pain is usually near the top of the tendons near the ball of the feet (when I apply pressure along the fasciitis it hurts). Both my podiatrist and GP say that Fasciitis can be anywhere on the feet. I was once very active and now I can’t do the things I use to love doing because of this, such as treadmills, bike riding and hiking. Does Fasciitis ever go away or am I going to be like this for the rest of my life?

If you need your othotics adjusted, talk to your podiatrist. Hopefully, that is all you will need. Surgery is the final option.

Dr, can Fasciitis be near the ball of the foot? My heel doesn’t hurt, the pain is usually near the ball of the foot. When I press on the tendons near the ball of the foot, they are feel tender and painful.
