So I had plantar fasciitis (no heel spur type situation) and I wasn't about to go to the dr either...because that is some BS and I knew it would be based on what I read online. So I tried two kind of sock things when I was sleeping and that seemed to clear it up. I also got better supportive shoes. I donated the rest of my shoes, and only wear lesser than shoes for small times. Since then, I haven't had it come back. I honestly think it was brought on from trying snowboarding...Since the shoes are so weird and tight. I also then tried skiing too at the same time.

On another note to avoid doctors, if you ever have any spasms stuff like that...something a chiropractor might treat...They have a cheap electronic pulse device that actually looks like a mini iphone you can use somewhat wirelessly. My husband had an issue with his hip, and the chiro wanted him coming in 3x a week to do that. So I found that, and bought it. It cleared up, and now we just have it for anything we might need it for. If you feel something pinched in your back, or whatever it might be. It was like $35.

My FIL had some bone spurs that randomly went away. But I will keep this stuff in mind in case it comes back.

It's amazing how normal things can work. I honestly feel a lot has to do with what we are putting on our feet. Everyone I see now wears shitty shoes. Mostly house shoes, crocs, and those ghetto prison slider shower shoes. I don't wear flip flops unless absolutely necessary. I did just get some birkenstocks for when I'd need to wear sandals because they're made in Germany. Other than that we wear Brooks.
