I found this in the internet for you:


Plantar fasciitis (pronounced PLAN-tar fashee-EYE-tiss) is an inflammation of the plantar fascia. %26quot;Plantar%26quot; means the bottom of the foot, %26quot;fascia%26quot; is a type of connective tissue, and %26quot;itis%26quot; means %26quot;inflammation%26quot;. Heel spurs are soft, bendable deposits of calcium that are the result of tension and inflammation in the plantar fascia attachment to the heel. Heel spurs do not cause pain. They are only evidence (not proof) that a patient may have plantar fasciitis. The plantar fascia encapsulates muscles in the sole of the foot. It supports the arch of the foot by acting as a bowstring to connect the ball of the foot to the heel. When walking and at the moment the heel of the trailing leg begins to lift off the ground, the plantar fascia endures tension that is approximately two times body weight. This moment of maximum tension is increased and %26quot;sharpened%26quot; (it increases suddenly) if there is lack of flexibility in the calf muscles. A percentage increase in body weight causes the same percentage increase in tension in the fascia. Due to the repetitive nature of walking, plantar fasciitis may be a repetitive stress disorder (RSD) similar to tennis elbow. Both conditions benefit greatly from rest, ice, and stretching. Surgery is a last resort and may result in more harm than good in up to 50% of the patients.


Good news is, that you can get rid of it by using the little arch thingy that goes inside the shoes. Do not use flat slippers for a long time. I had it for a while and it just went away when I followed the doctors instructions.
Reply:i suggest you go and see a physio. they%26#039;ll run some tests to see what the issue is and it sounds like you may need orthotics
