A member asked:
With plantar fasciitis should you be barefoot or wear shoes to help treat it? and secondly should you bear weight on it or hop on the good foot and have your foot with plantar fasciitis not bear weight?

It may require more than one treatment modality, including stretching, icepack, physiotherapy, splint etc. It would be prudent to consult a doctor or a podiatrist. For info: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/plantar-fasciitis/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20354851 Wish you good health!
