Anyone suffering from this?
I tore my calf muscle after landing real hard (riding on the balls of my feet) over a year ago.
Now the calf muscle is healed but I've coincidentally I've developed PF in my foot that seems like it won't go away.
Anyone dealing with this? Tell me what worked for you.
Thanks,

Saw doctors, including a chiro. Had some custom orthotics made. Never really had much long lasting change.
Lost my orthotics while traveling, so my wife went out and grabbed the most basic heel cup inserts that they had at Walmart. I'd just started stretching a few weeks earlier by putting my toes on the first step of our stairway and doing "heel dips".
Within 2 weeks of using the cheap heel cups and stretching, I was pretty much pain free. A couple more weeks and I had just about forgotten about even ever having PF. That was about 4 or 5 years ago. Today I don't wear heel cups until I feel that first little bit of burn, and then I wear them for a couple of weeks and that's it for 6 months or so. I figure I wear the cups about 4 weeks a year or so, on average.
And, what APLMAN said.
The Shop
This was the only thing that helped me heal. You can buy them online or at any running shoe store. Just don't let your dog get a hold of it! Good luck!
