Hi everyone,
I had plantar fasciitis in heel last year while training for a marathon and was able to run, due to stretching before getting out of bed, icing after run, etc. This year have it again, but seems to be in the ball of my foot and left side of foot. I can hardly walk after two weeks. I am wearing orthodics but still am having pain. Haven't run :(. Has anyone experienced anything like this? What was the recovery period? AND, with 16 weeks to go until marathon - what would be the minimal amount of time I would need to get back up to speed and be able to run the marathon? I am so frustrated! Thanks for any comments.

hi iddy, here is my experience from another blog.
geeez i never even heard of injuries to the muscles and tendons of the feet and ankles until that next day after i bought my new pair of runners, as they were so comfortable and supportive i really hit it. Cross country running, hiking, back to shoot some hoops, a run in the forest again and more hoops and next i could not move. I did over do it. Now 6 weeks later i am still in bad way. Ankle pain, a crinkling feeling as i stand or put pressure on my feet. after 4 weeks i felt better took a long walk for three days and bam back to square one. its a night mare. I have an ultrasound tomorrow, i asked doctor for xray as well, but he said it was unessacery as many people in age group who over do it get this condition. I am worried. been bed ridden for 7 days now. i dont do any calf raises, nor leg stretches nor the standard recommended wall stretches from internet. I just roll my feet back and forth on wall whilst i lie in bed and raise on my toes and from ankles with gentle pressure. so worried i will tear more tissue. i get weird shooting pains at night in my ankles, i say to my self it the body healing. I just wanna play sport and run again. its so bad. i will get the bike out this week and start cycling again, i heard this helps. from what i read there is not much doctors can do. i read one blog the surgery is risky and takes up to a year to heal, please double check this. so my cause of action is go slow. i got an elderly person walker wiht the seat on it. i hull my self into this and glide around house, i placed small seat in shower so i dont have to stand. i massge and roll and flex my feet gently at least 3 times a day. i hope this all works. good luck as i need ittoo.
