IRL, I’m an evangelist for swimming. Great exercise with zero impact.

Had that flare up in my late 30s. Orthopedic sneakers worked wonders.

For me it means the one thing more boring than a treadmill - a rower.

Try the rowing machine.

Audio books can be your friend! Hope your feet feel better soon!

Hate that I read this as Palantir.

stationary bike just means watching tv as far as I am concerned

Get the shoe inserts, never walk barefoot. Speedy recovery.

I hope you are trying the sock at night, it’s the only thing that really helped me. Good luck with it!

but stationary bike means book while cycling \o/

I catch up on a bit of tv but then i switch to music

Smash fascism AND fasciitis.

Def. use the orthodic pads. And stretch your calves. Stand on a stair with heel hanging off. Push up (using both feet) to tip toe, and slowly release down (using one foot), spending a few seconds at the bottom for maximum stretch. Do reps of 10. Works for me. Only thing that does.

Also, Crocs (better than anything else I've tried) around the house at all time. Never go barefoot.

Amy had that a while back. Not fun. Sorry to hear your diagnosis.

Try a recumbent stationary bike- same exercise but with a more comfortable seat.

Exercise bikes are so boring. You've probably had all the advice thrown at you, but just in case: While sitting at a desk, pressing down on a golf ball under the bare foot went from stabby to ok faster than anything else.

Had plantar about as bad as you could get it, but, mostly, from long distance running. Leaned even more into biking, and, at doc’s recommendation, clipped in with spd’s (allowing for wide toe-box shoes), and, I rarely have symptoms anymore -

My personal hell will feature an eternity of riding the stationary bike. And not the comfortable recumbent bike but the regular one that makes your ass sore after 5 minutes.

Is life going by too fast? Need it to slow down? Get on a stationary bike. You’ll think an hour has gone by, look at the timer, and find it’s only been 90 seconds, since you last looked.

It's a torture machine in my book. I pretty much hate it but wowser, a fast way to get a workout.
