It was raining a ton this morning so a bike ride was out of the question. I decided to walk on my treadmill to try and loosen my foot up a bit. I was doing OK so I tried to see if I could run. NO GOOD AT ALL. I could run for about 1/4 mile until I could no longer stand the pain so I went back to walking. I walked 2 miles........that doesn't count for anything.

Sorry about the continued pains with the foot. Rest some more. My wife is going to a PT who works in Blackfoot and believes he can help her. If you like, I can send you information to see if you might want to visit him as well. He takes a more aggressive massage approach that has demonstrated success with PF. Let me know.

Bill - Take my advice and stay off of it.

Let it heal. Don't be an idiot like I was when I ran on my Achillies. I wasted four weeks of training and it probably would have been only one week if I would have taken a week off in the beginning.

The pain is it at the ball of the foot?

My boss is also an aggressive Massage Therapist and does it on the side. He would only charge you $10 for a massage.

Didn't you say your daughter is a massage therapist?

Your in my prayers my friend.

Jeff, Thanks for the idea. Please send me any information you can. I would appreciate it.

Kory, My pain is now mostly along the inside of the arch and on my heel. Obviously PF for sure.
