Hello Gentlemen,

I have searched previous threads and am still in need of advice if there is any to offer.

I did a good job of mangling my feet ( twists, strains, sprains, and fractures) and knees while on active duty. My Plantar Fasciitis finally subsided and I have stopped the heavy doses of Ibuprofin.

My current employment still allows me to beat my feet through the woods.
The terrain is now the spurs and draws of Southern Indiana.

My Clothing and Sales boots finally gave up the ghost last year and I am unable to find an exact replacement. I don't buy boots unless I can try them on first. No Px benefit, don't trust mail order, no trusted boots.
I finally settled on a pair of Vasque hiking boots.

I have been happy with the boots, I still roll the ankles on occasion, the knee caps still feel like they are going to pop off like bottle caps when climbing, and have felt normal until a few months ago when I started having signifigant pain on the back side of both heels while climbing. The pain subsides when moving on horizontal ground.
The disturbing pain is in the morning or after a long trip in the truck. As I take those first steps for 30-60 minutes the pain is magnificent and reminds me of the PF only on the back side of my heels.

Is this possibly a boot problem or have I contracted another dose of PF or something new?

My wallet does not have the opportunity to lay-up and heal. I am without health insurance so all medical expenses are out of my pocket.


Any advice is greatly appreciated,

Go Devil
