I have a job that keeps me on my feet, walking most of the time, so I haven't had the luxury of just staying off my feet for a few days. I've been dealing with plantar fasciitis for several months and have tried just about everything.
A couple of weeks ago I noticed my heel felt better after a shower, so I was thinking maybe heat is the answer. Then I was disappointed because a heating pad didn't do much, But then I tried moist heat and it has helped tremendously! I just heat up some water in a small saucepan and put my foot over the steam (be careful not to burn yourself!).
