Taiga what about those copper compression sleeves for the arch or only midfoot.
Would those help?

Bee, that sounds awful about your husband! I'll definitely get some intervention before it gets to that point. I do not want to wind up debilitated. Being active is, to me, like a natural antidepressant, and I'm not sure where I would be emotionally without regular exercise practice of some kind.
I'm kind of waiting to reach out to my own doc but want to connect with my dad first, who had a podiatrist he liked a couple of years ago who helped with his own PF and other pain. If that guy is on my insurance, I'm going to seek him out, and of course my dad is busy doing a bunch of "retiree in the summer" stuff this week, so we're playing phone/text tag haha.

kat999, I agree..... it would be very depressing to be unable to be active. Lucky for him he's able to ride a bike without pain, so he does that pretty much daily. But there's a lot of couch sitting! (which can make me grumpy, but then I remember how much pain he deals with all the time and I can't stay grumpy).

I actually spoke with my dad finally about his podiatrist rec, and so I have a name to pursue, but I will also check with my PCP. But a friend actually reported that she was diagnosed with regular old PF with symptoms like mine, and she shared some of her PT exercises with me. That, and based on how old I told her my workout and regular shoes are, she recommended I go to a New Balance store STAT, so that's the plan for tomorrow.
