Dealing with Plantar Fasciitis for Over 20 Years

Hi, I have had plantar fasciitis since I was 11 off and on, and now in my 30's I've had it everyday for 2 years. I have to wear sleep socks, stretch, wear special shoes only, and still deal with pain/tightness especially when trying to hike and exercise more often than 3 times a week. I used be a ninja coach until I couldn't walk because of this and would love to be a bad**s again, so I appreciate any advice/help on the subject!

I do/have done all of these things! It's not that the things I'm doing aren't working, it's that my problems aren't going away after doing them for two years straight now 😓

I’ve bought multiple massage tools that are helpful (when I actually use them). I have one of those small massage balls with bumps on it, a pointy plastic thing that’s for trigger points, and I just got a Thumb Saver for manual massage. I don’t use these as often as I should, but when I do, they provide a good amount of relief. I’ve also been thinking about physical therapy, so if that is an option for you, I’d look into that too.

No advice here as I'm still dealing with it myself, but that sounds SO cool
