My problem is over the arch on the side of the foot. I hurt it playing tennis a while back and ignored it. About a year ago I bought orthotics and it helped my problem over
The arch area, but it never seems to go away completely. I was
Playing tennis and walking but I stopped doing all that and it
Improved but whenever I mow the lawn my foot gets irritated and
Bothers me for days. Is it possible that I have a torn fascia? I
Have not seen a doctor because I don't have insurance. If a problem
On a foot gets aggravated over a long period can a patient still get better 100% or will he
Always have problems? Has anyone had this kind of problem?

I have the same problem and have had it for years, the pain comes and goes.
Sometimes I swear I can hear the tendon pulling.
4 or 5 years ago, a doctor made me insoles. Gave me about 3 cortisone shots... very painful and some novicane shots. This treatment went on for about 6 weeks or so. I was pain free for a long time afterward but in the past year it is slowly coming back... not as bad as before but...
He told me one option was for him to snip the tendon that is the problem if the shots didn't help. When the shots helped I never explored the other option.

I am not sure if my problem is the same as you Mine happened when playing tennis ( a pop) but being over the arch I was told it was plantar faciitis Mine is not about pain as much either just an irritation that goes away. I want to go toa doctor but am worried he might do more harm than good. If if I stop playing tennis and heavy walking which I did (about 5 weeks now) everyday then hopefully it will go away by itself for good

Mine did not happen like that it just started with soreness, don't quiet remember how.

Here is a description of the pain. After I would sit still for a while and then stand I could actually feel the tendon stretching out... pain upon standing and while it was strecting out. Then it would OK for a few hours... if I continued to walk it would get sore and the bottom of my foot would begin aching.

After a few months of this it got to my right side of the heal was sore upon touching or applying light pressure.

Also I could and sometimes while I am sitting flex my foot and it streches the tendon out and yes it hurts. I will say that some days were worse than others, it probably dependended on the level of activity.

I am a lot less active now than upon the onset of it so that may be one of the reasons that mine does not act up so bad... but I do believe the treatment helped mine a lot. Here is a pretty good description and some syggestions on helping it.

Editfor some reason it will not attach the link.

Sorry to hear that. I know it can be frustrating as hell to slow down. I'll look at the link but I read that plantar fasciitis is the ligament not tendons. Hopefully you will get back to 100%
I think the link did not work because you have luck and http without a space.
