    I thought only dudes like Glen Rice got stuff like this.

    I've had a pain in my heel for 2 months...I finally did a search on the net and I have all the classic symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis. The fact that I've waited at least 2 months to finally do something about it sucks in that it will take a lot longer to heal once I actually start treatment.

    Anyone else out there had or got it now?

    I had it several years ago. It can get extremely painful at times. The doctors gave me arches to wear in my shoes,which seemed to help.

    Ahh the classic "diagnose-yourself-over-the-internet."

    Well thought out, I might add. I mean no middle man AND no bills.

    Wow.

    Yes they helped. I have minor reoccurences now and than,and I really have no idea what triggers them,but it only lasts a day or 2,than it's gone.

    Maybe I have something like this. I've had a dull pain in my heel off and on for the last 8 months, usually noticeable the day after I do step aerobics or walk a long way. It's not enough to seriously bother me or stop me from doing anything, but I do notice it. Probably from trying to save money by doing step and boxing aerobics in $30 shoes. :(

    I have had it, taped my foot up, got orthotics and is generally better, to really get over it you have to stop running for a while.

    Ouch. Yes. Had it in track in high school. And the thing is...it lasted for about a week, but I limped everywhere. I had no idea what I had until I learned about it recently.

    I remember it hurted so bad, I can still feel it. :(

    Just for the other side of the spectrum, here's an email I got from an acquaintance last October:
