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!

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

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.

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 😓
