There's also a statement that she felt that Shockwave treatment
was a major factor in her recovery.
I'll definitely consider it more seriously now.

My foot vet has it in his office which means he has bought into the
treatment. He said he will send me some stuff on it. I'd like to when in
the process of trying to healing PF he opts for SWT, early on or only as
a last resort.

I guess you need a vet, when you spend so much time on all fours....

There's an article about Carrie Tollefson's struggle with Plantar Fascitiis
in the Running Times that just came out.
It sounded eerily familiar to me, it confirmed that I'm doing the right
thing by stopping all running for now.

There's also a statement that she felt that Shockwave treatment
was a major factor in her recovery.
I'll definitely consider it more seriously now.

Meant to send this comment earlier, when it came up on another group,
but someone there is no longer suffering chronic pain (4 yrs worth) and
is running again. Apparently it's not suggested until 6 months of
conservative, conventional treatments for PF. Comments from others were
more vague.

I also talked to someone locally who had it done in NYC when it wasn't
available here. He said he was back running three weeks after without pain.
I would think I qualify as last resort status though I'm sure my Insurance
company may not agree. Who is your podiatrist? I don't knos anything about
the person that is offering it locally, whether they run etc.

Did the article say anything about not whining to strangers about silly
personal problems.............. like joggers with sore feet?
