To Barb,Marge, et all, I had plantar fasciitis, and after a few "shots" in my feet, and one treatment where they were wrapped with tape and then I got the shot, I finally got custom fitted orthotics, which are small inserts that fit in almost any shoe. They cured my PF in a few weeks, I did not believe it! I am able to walk all day and have no pain in my feet anymore. My orthotics were made using a computer program which converted the pressure of my feet on a mat into a diagram on the computer monitor which was sent to the company that makes the orthotics. Mine were covered by insurance after correcting their code which confused "orthopedic shoes" with "orthotics" I believe they cost between $300-450. Some are made with with impressions rather than the computer program. Mine were made by a podiatrist, who helped me after an orthopedist just kept giving me shots, and excersizes which helped just a little. I used to dread stepping out of bed in the morning, until my feet started feeling slightly better. Ken B
