    Until you know what's causing the pain, you may indeed spend time and money unnecessarily on things which don't work.

    Go and see your GP (free), get a diagnosis (free), ask for a referral to physio if necessary (free).

    If it IS PF, I have found simple exercises suggested by a chiropodist and approved by a physio have eradicated it. But they say if I stop the exercises, the pain will come back.

    I do have off the shelf insoles now with supported arches, but in summer I can wear 'normal' sandals.

    But your problem could be something completely different!

    Hi there, just felt the need to clarify this post! If you are having FOOT problems ask for a referral to a PODIATRIST before a physio. Podiatrists are foot specialists!

    There is also no need for a physio to 'approve' exercises prescribed by a Podiatrist!


    Sorry to intrude, but as a profession we are constantly having to raise the profile of what we actually specialise in :D
