I was recently diagnosed with PF. Doctor told me not to do anything with impact like running but didn't seem to know anything about lifting. I currently do 3, full body workouts but want to make sure things like squats, lunges, etc aren't going to make it worse. Thanks for any info.
Julie what about regular squats would the be ok? The arch is a bit sore and achy but not the sharp pain like I feel in the heel. I do have Superfeet ortho's in my workout shoes but not in my regular shoes. Probably going to have to sacrifice fashion for comfort for a while until this heals. I wore my running shoes all day today and it felt much better.
LD thanks for the input. I am doing the ball rolling and frozen water bottle rolling and those both feel great. How long has yours taken to heal? Ever take any meds? My doc gave me an RX for Voltaren. I took it the other night when it was hurting worse than ever but it made my stomach kind of yucky which I understand is a common side effect with those drugs.
One of my basketball buddies was given a boot type thing to keep his foot stretched while he sleeps. His pain was worst when he first woke up.
Orthotics and fish oil supplements helped me.

Once I got serious and got the REAL orthotics/insoles and stretched regularly, it still took a couple of months. But, I got IMMEDIATE relief from the insoles. It was amazing. After a few days, I had to remind myself not to jump and run.
Now, I'm paranoid. I get what's probably normal foot pain, and wonder if it's the PF. I don't run much, but I have run a 5k without any PF pain. I've jumped rope once or twice, but I'm not ready to push it.
I only took motrin, so I'm not familiar with that medicine.
My doctor told me about the version that keeps your ankle at 90 degree, too. He told me that these are newer and just as effective. You can also wear this during the day, so it works under a shoe when sitting down, too.
This is far more comfortable than the version that keeps your ankle at 90 degrees, which can only be worn without shoes.

That does look better than the big boot things! At this point I am willing to try anything reasonable.
Voltaren is an RX anti-inflammatory like Celebrex, Naprosyn, etc but so far it is messing up my stomach so not too thrilled about taking it. Might stick to the OTC stuff.
I don't know the answer to your question about lifting. I am new to this.
I did have PF for about two years before it finally was so bad I could barely walk in teh mornings and I had to find out what the problem was. My doctor told me there was surgery, but that it was not always effective, blah, blah, blah.
What fixed it was that I got a new pair of shoes and I liked them enough to wear them all the time. They are dansko brand. I got the maryjanes with a thinner sole than some have, but they are all supposed to be great for your feet. I would highly recommend getting a good quality pair of shoes, even if they are not the prettiest around.
Good luck with it. I remember how bad it hurt... all the time, but especially upon waking.
