A member asked:
Went to orthopedic surgeon im 6 weeks into ankle fracture he told me i can start wearing a boot should i wear it all day no matter what or only when im walking around. and how long does plantars fasciitis take to go away?

It sounds as though your plantar fasciitis is related to your ankle injury. You will have to normalize the ankle first before your foot will function properly . In the mean time try a semi rigid support, stretch the Achilles’ tendon . Icing and anti inflammatory medication will help. Icing and message can help as well.
