Anybody have any home remedies for plantar fasciitis and/or a bruised heel? I've been suffering from this VERY annoying malady for about 2 years. I finally visited a podiatrist and he poked and prodded a bit and said "my diagnosis is that your heel hurts and these things usually take care of themselves in 3 to 6 months." I tell him "I TOLD YOU this has been going on for 18 months" and he replies "yeah, sometimes it takes longer--take two ibuprofen and don't call me in the morning."

Disclaimer -- not a DR.

First, has anyone made a determination on whether there is a bone spur? If not, find yourself a good massage therapist -- they are used to treating this condition. I don't know of anyone specifically in Vegas but I had one for a couple years when I lived in Ohio who was a miracle worker. If you do find one and they work out, pm me the name.

If there is a spur the last thing you want is massage but at least you will know what needs to be dealt with.
