Nerve pain and plantar fascitis pain what can help?

I have burning almost electric pain in my feet. Wear insoles but it's so bad I can't even hardly walk. I'm not diabetic but I am overweight. Anyone out there have some solutions? I'm desperate for relief

Nerve pain and plantar fascitis pain what can help?
I too have suffered from plantar fasciitis for about one year. I am currently using night splints. The night splint keeps my foot from extending while asleep so I can walk immediately upon waking without the intense pain.





My podiatrist has also given me three kenalog injections over the past several months. They are VERY painful shots, but they have helped reduce the inflammation.





Stretching exercises seem to help, too. See: http://www.sportsinjurybulletin.com/arch... Also, http://heelspurs.com/index.html is a great discussion board about PF.





Good Luck!
Reply:I have the same problem. My Foot doctor and the physical therapists at my work prompted me to freeze pop bottles full of water and roll your foot along it. I froze three so i could do it continually. Let me tell you it was like heaven. I also took the advice to buy good quality shoes. My foot doctor recommended New Balance shoes number 926. They are pricey at $105.00 with tax but as long as I wear them and no others, My foot feels great. I was also told to not walk barefoot any more and to wear my shoes all the time. So far the pain has subsided and I am pain free. It was sooo painful that I would dread getting up in the morning .Hope that helps.
Reply:all of the other answers are good ones - you may also want to find out if you have pinched nerve in your spine - because if that's the cause of your foot pain (which is a possibility) then all that other stuff won't help much! For true plantar fasciitis, lose weight, stretch, stretch some more - there are specific stretches. Shoes with arch supports are a must, also, rub the bottom of your foot stretching the skin and fascia. I don't like rolling a frozen coke bottle - I use a tennis ball and then put my foot on the ice pack. I think the night splint helps a lot - it often starts because the muscles in the leg are tight -


you may want to check this out http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/heeli... be sure to scroll down the page and check out some of the different things there. Good luck - it's a nasty thing to have. but get your back checked too. I was seeing a physical therapist for the plantar fasciitis and he wrote a note to my Dr suggesting that they check out my back - good thing they did, I have 5 herniated discs!
Reply:well i have that lyrica helps with the burning and electric pain but if your overweight. it may be a problem as in weight gain there also is neurotin which i heard helps also. but i havent tryed it. the lyrica doesnt make me gain weight as it has others and normally i would be the first to gain weight. i hope this helps you..
