Hi Cathie

Is there some reason why you can't have a special shoe, or insert

for shoes to make your legs the same size?

Here good inexpensive exercises for plantar fascitis:

One I did not see is to do when you are sitting in a chair.

Take a tennis ball, place it under your foot and roll it

around. It especially helps if you have to sit for long

periods of time.

Some people find splints of various types to wear at

night helpful. Personally I would find that very uncomfortable, so here is a

link about taping your foot:

I hope these will help.

Which foot is the painful one? My right leg is shorter by 3/8 of an inch and it

was that foot that had the bone spur and plantar fasciitis.

I forgot to mention, they make these " boot " to be worn while sleeping that

holds the foot at a 90 degree angle to the leg. It's meant to keep that tendon

stretched out while it's healing to prevent the stretching/tearing first thing

of a morning when you stand. That makes perfect sense to me.
