I have Plantar Fasciitis & am in terrible pain. I am not sure what I can take since absolutely no Ibuprofen or Aleve. I am doing all the non -med treatments too like icing & stretching & resting. Help !!!!!! Any suggestions ???

Tylenol #3 is a safe and stronger pain reliever for those with uc. It includes Codeine.

I had Plantar Fascitis last summer and took a low dose of pred for 5 days -- got relief almost right away. Wasn't crazy about taking pred but nothing was touching the pain and I was too afraid to take any NSAIDs. That pain is excruciating!

I have bad back pain , take Tramadol it's a prescription drug and works for me
We recently moved from NC to Wa state . Between the big move and doing too much lifting my back pain has been severe
The Tramadol is my relief

Thanks everyone for the responses :0) I guess I will have to go to the Dr & get a med.

Foot doc should fit you with orthothics, though they work slowly. In the meantime wear tennis shoes- I spent a whole summer in Crocs. The spongy bottom helps. Stretch like crazy. Only 10% need surgery, but it takes awhile to get relief. Also, sleep with your foot flexed, might need a boot. Lots of gizmo's on the market cheaper than a doc's orthotic boot, so you might be able to copy one.

You could also try voltaren gel.

I agree though. Best long term fix was orthotics.
