Fwd: [pct-l] plantar fasciitis experiences

[pfreiman at UCSD.Edu (pfreiman@UCSD.Edu)]

I have plantar Fascitis in both feet.  The first time it only took 3 acupuncture
treatments.  After the third tx I walked away feeling NO pain.  Then 2 years 
later it happened in the other foot and my therapist was gone.  Instead of 
going to another acupuncturist I tried Western medicine since all I had to do 
was talk to the foot surgeon as he did surgery(I work in the operating room).  
After 6 months of injury and Western med not helping my therapist came back 
into town and cured it in six treatments (it had become more messed up as time 
went on).

managed to
moderately aggravate my plantar fasciitis from two years ago.  A couple of days 
of rest,
stretching, and ice have helped, but of course I'm thinking ahead for the 
possibility it
may get really aggravated on the trail.

w/this condition,
methods used, etc?  I obviously don't want to give up on months of planning, 
dehydrating,
training, dreaming, and so forth over this.
