How do i know if i have plantar fasciitis ? i think i do and i have a hike in 4 week, any advice?

If you have: a sensation like stepping on a nail in your heel when you put weight on it then you likely do have plantar fasciitis. See a good podiatrist if available. there are a number of treatments however many times it just resolves. Anecdotally, naproxen OTC taken 2 tabs twice daily with food seems to help a number of individuals along with heel cups.
