I want to thank you for your advice.  but i also have a question about your comment.  do you have to be a diabetic to have planter fascitis because i was tested for diabeties and i am not diabetic.  But i also have back pain such as my back locking up for no reason and stiffening.  Could this be linked together?  I know that i am over weight but not severly i weigh 240 and i'm 5'6 but i have been around 200 pounds since i was 17 years old.

I totally understand what you mean this morning after my man working all night had to stay up with our kid for a bit cuz I was having such bad muscle spasms in my knees and ankles and feet.  I could not walk.  I was a little thing till I was 15 they put me on steroids and I blew up.  After I had my daughter I gained 200 pounds in 3 months.  I weighed over 450.  I recently had a reaction to a med and lost 100 pounds in 3 days.  But now that I am losing weight I am having even more problems.  You know your body more than anyone else.  Find a doctor who believes and wants to help you.  I hope you feel better!

I am having similar symptoms but without the back pain. I am the same size but diabetes run in my family but I have bee tested but it is not that.  I drive a lot for my job but I can barely walk at times and have pain when I get out of bed.  Unfortunately I can afford insurance so I am forced to either buy into a plan or try to find out through this metod to resolve this issue.  I think that I may try the change in shoes and buy insoles.
