I had plantar F only when I ran almost daily...oh how I misssss that!
Plantar F leads to heal spurs. So make sure you deal with it right away. I went and bought over the counter inserts that raised up my heal and BINGO no more Pain. At all. I needed more arch support.
That being said===you should perhaps treat for bart also just on the chance...?

I started with plantar F on both feet leading to painful heal spurs on both feet. Had to give up walking any distances for the last 9 years.

Dr. S told me that heel pain is one of the symptoms that he finds indicative of lyme in patients whose blood work is negative. He also said that he doesn't know why this is. My heel pain must be from lyme as I have never tested positive for bart, while my lyme and babesia WA1 tests are very positive.
Levaquin can shorten tendons causing some pretty agonizing heel pain. Heel pain while taking levaquin is a sign for me to call the doc and switch medications. It only progresses to more agonizing pain for me if I continue.
Fun facts to know and tell!

Thanks again guys,
I am on abx protocol that is supposed to hit the co's. I passed on doing the bart test as dr agreed it wouldn't change our treatment plan.
But lyme alone may cause it...crazy, crazy disease.
May it be thrown into the deep abyss of fiery hell every spirochette on the earth.

Char, get in-shoe supports at the drug store. Some will say they are especially for plantar fascitis. They worked for me.
My problem was a sensitivity to fluoroquinolones: Cipro, Avelox,levaquin. It can even cause ruptured tendons. I still have tendon problems from time to time.
So check your meds and be sure you try to get off any that can cause tendonitis.
There are lots of reasons for Plantar problems. Hope you get that fixed soon.

Ann, you mentioned levaquin, etc. which brought up something in my mind.
When I started having the rashes that traveled my entire body, I also had a 2" x 4" spot on my right shoulder where I lost the skin/raw that happened 3-4 times requiring me to see skin dr.
She/he took 4 biopsies with 2 "unknown bug bite"! Yea, right? Another was a reaction to LEVAQUIN, and anytriptyline! So they took me off anytrip...
Glad you mentioned that; maybe that makes more sense to me right now...thanks Ann.
in-sole cushions have helped me somewhat. There have still been days up to 1 week when I couldn't walk at all due to 24/7 pain.
