I suffered months with debilitating foot pain (plantar fasciitis). Eventually, I found a ridiculously simple cure: Simply stretch the sole of your foot as you take slow steps. Roll over the ball of your feet gently, leave the toes on the ground and then stretch the sole of your feet for a second or two. Repeat 10 to 20 times several times a day. The foot pain got immediately better and generally subsided during the course of 2 or 3 weeks. I have since been pain free for one year.

Thank you! This has helped so much! I still have pain but as soon as it gets bad, I start doing this exercise. Am also trying grapefruit seed extract rubbed on at night, so perhaps the combination is what is working.

Thank you. This was so helpful - I took your advice and modified it a bit for me. My walking shoes have a broad toe so with each step I spread my toes out wide and stretch my foot as I take my next step. The pain has moderated considerably and I now think I'll be able to take regular walks again -- after not walking regularly for over a year and seeing my health suffer accordingly. I found this site by googling plantar fasciitis. I sure do appreciate all the helpful tips. I started with the easiest one I could find and it helped! I'm going to start taking tumeric also.
