A member asked:
Can plantar fasciitis cause sharp pain in the ball of foot when walking? also can plantar fasciitis last months even with treatment such as stretching
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stop tearing it...: Did you ever think that the stretching of the inflamed fascia is just continually irritating an already damaged tissue. Stop the stretching, rest it, apply heat and wait for the healing to occur as nature intended.
