Suprising 90 percent recovery after 18 months of excrutiating pain I tried everything, stretching,rolling,massaging,castor oil,shoe inserts ,higher arches in shoes, referal to physio, many types of different shoes... and then i suddenly read somewhere that shoe arches and cushioned insoles could be making the problem worse. I stopped wearing arches in shoes , and soft insoles and had given up hope then suddenly over a matter of a week i noticed the pain had suddenly eased off
