I’ve tried stretches, iced bottle on foot, resting, hot water bottle, toes spreader, in soles, ball 🥎 on arch… I think running and flip flops were the cause. I’m not over weight. I’m in the age range of getting it though, aged 50. It’s soooo frustrating. Getting it on my right foot now a little as well as my left. I had PF in 2019. It took 5mths to go. Good luck to anyone suffering…I know how you feel!!! 💔😭😭😭
