Whatever diet plan you follow, it is advised to fit as much walking into your day as possible - except I have a very bad case of plantar fasciitis. I have had it for over 12 months now, and have tried to carry on walking as much as I possibly can (I used to be a hill walker) but my condition has just got worse. During this past week, I have literally stopped walking as much as possible, ie. Driven everywhere (even just down the road to take my daughter to playschool!!), and not done any walking. I have also started stretching exercises which are supposed to help treat this condition.
Can you please tell me if I am doing the right thing, as you recommend being more active like walking more, but since I've stopped, my plantar fasciitis has improved - even in the short time of four days. Does this mean I will have to use the car forever more, or just until this condition is completely better?
