Does the treadmill make anyone else's pf flare up and burn?
Does the treadmill make anyone else's pf flare up and burn? I want to exercise but I suffer for days if I push myself. What other exercises is good that won't make pf flare up?

The treadmill is one of the worst things that you can be on because every single solitary step is exactly the same one right after the other. The alternative would be either a really good exercise bike or what I think is the best of the best which is an elliptical.

Treadmill use was one of the reasons I have pf. It's very bad for pf. Elliptical trainer has been my go to

An incline over 3 will do it.

Unfortunately treadmills don't have the same force absorption as the ground does. I would avoid the treadmill until your PF subsides.
