Plantar fasciitis

[Whacker]

My father in law has it bad. He gets cortisone shots once in a blue moon from my brother in law (ortho surgeon). Apparently, you're supposed to do this gradual stretch in the morning right when you wake up and before you get out of bed and get moving. If you can be arsed to do it, it's supposed to help a lot. The cortisone can/will eventually weaken your tendons and the attachment site. Go visit the doc and see if you can't get some info on those exercises.
