I have had plantars faciitis for several months now. I am a runner and have always been able to run through the pain. Recently, the pain has been so extreme I can not walk in the morning. After it is warmed up I am able to walk be with lots of pain all day. I can feel a knott at the base but I am not able to work it out. I have stretched, iced, and bought generic orthodics. So, my question is: Will this eventually go away on it's own or is it time to see a podiatrist?
