shoes for tendonitis

[5ironkid]

hey guys. a few years ago i got diagnosed with tendonitis in my right heel, from years of aggresive fencing. i went to physical therapy and it got better. however, every so often my right heel will start to hurt, especially after walking the course. currently i wear nike air academy golf shoes, and im wondering if there are any inserts, or shoes that would help with this. also i would like it to not be really expensive since im 15 and dont have a job or anything. thanks!

You get pain on the bottom of your foot/heel? sounds like you have plantar fasciitis. it's a rather common problem and can be fixed for FREE. first, stretch your calves. if you're not sure what to do, type "gastroc/soleus stretch" into google. hold each stretch for 30 seconds - 1 minute. repeat 2-3 times equaling 1 set. Do 2-3 sets per day. Also, type "plantar fascia tennis ball" into google. if you have a tennis ball start there. if you have a lacrosse ball or something like that, use it instead. if you don't have any of those then use a golf ball, but don't push too hard. roll your foot around on the ball for about 2 minutes. do that 2-3 times a day. Do this every day and you should be back to normal soon.
