[pct-l] What is plantar fasciitis?

[tahoe.cat at verizon.net (Cathy)]

Hi I have a different problem at times. The Ball of my right foot gets very
hot and feels very hard like I have a rock in it but I don't. I have used
duck tape on it and superfeet have helped a lot but it sometimes still
happens.    Ground Pounder Bill
