[NPInfo] Plantar Fasciitis

[Dena]

Bev--
Try this page on Foot Smart.com... lots of handy gadgets for plantar
fasciitis. I ordered my compressions socks for chronic shin splints from
them on my PT's recommendations.

Thanks, Dena. I agree - the comfy slippers feel so much better.
I have already had 2 injections and I am still in pain. Everytime, take off 
comes, I am feeling a lot of pain.
I would love to put my foot in a 90 degree position at night with a boot ---

I had one with my leg fx, but now of course, I cannot find it.

Thanks. Let me know if you have any other helpful advice.

Bev
