I dont have plantar fascitis, at least i dont think i have. But both of my feet have a little swelling and lots of pain, i was diagnosed with neuropathy, but when i went to the neuroligist, he did a nerve test and said there was some damage but not enough to cause this much pain, the pain is horrible, but no one can seem to get to the bottom of this, I was just wondering if anyone else has any idea about this, i would appreciate any help.

Mary, my husband had diabetes and had nerve pain for awhile. He took meds for it which did help. Finally it went away. Neurontin I think it was. Good luck.

It relaxes the tendon that is pulling through my foot to my heel. You can look up the stretches on line, but tbe tennis ball works very well for me. I keep it next to the pedal and use it when I am hand stitching.
It drives my dog nuts! She just looks at me like I am an idiot who does not understand what tennis balls are for!
I had the horrible experience of plantar fasciitis developing suddenly in both feet. Doctor recommended that I wear Birkenstock shoes....instant relief. Birkenstock inserts are also available to put in regular shoes and boots. Absolutely no pain instantly!!!

My only guess would be arthritis or gout??? But I am surprised the neuro would not have suggested either or a plan to determine the cause.

Just a thought- check out your back too!! sometimes my lower back just kills my leg. Nerves go everywhere.

I will just throw this out there as well .....
When i had horrific heel pain...cd not stand/walk for even 30 straight minutes --- felt like someone was driving a railroad spike into my heels...
Turned out it was caused by back troubles - sciatica. Once i found a good chiropractor who fixed my lower back problems (relief started after just the first visit) the heel pain completely disappeared as well.
