I have plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis refers to the syndrome of inflammation of the band of tissue that runs from the heel along the arch of the foot. Plantar fasciitis is most often seen in middle-aged men and women but can be found in all age groups. Plantar fasciitis is diagnosed with the classic symptoms of pain well localized over the heel area of the bottom of the foot.
Plantar fasciitis occurs because of irritation to the thick ligamentous connective tissue that runs from the heel bone to the ball of the foot. This strong and tight tissue contributes to maintaining the arch of the foot. It is also one of the major transmitters of weight across the foot as you walk or run. Therefore, the stress placed on this tissue is tremendous.
When a patient has plantar fasciitis, the connective tissue that forms the arch of the foot becomes inflamed (tendonitis) and degenerative (tendinosis)--these abnormalities cause plantar fasciitis and can make normal activities quite painful.
Symptoms of plantar fasciitis are typically worsened early in the morning after sleep. At that time, the arch tissue is tight and simple movements stretch the contracted tissue. As you begin to loosen the foot, the pain usually subsides, but often returns with prolonged standing or walking. orthopedics.about.com/od/footankle/a/fasciitis.htm
My Story: The pain began in my right second toe when I was in my early 30's. I went to an orthopedic surgeon, and he suggested surgery, etc. which I declined. Then I began having pain in my heels. The orthopedic surgeon injected cortisone into the soles of my feet. He also prescribed orthopedic shoes with a metatarsal arch attached to the bottom of the shoes. These types of shoes were very expensive and very ugly. I have very short feet; so, the shoes had to be ordered. I disliked the sight of the shoes, but I was glad to be able to walk without pain. I wore out many pairs of these shoes.
Then I found a podiatrist in Valdosta who tried something different. First, he taped up my feet with a thick pad under the arch. I had to wear surgical shoes to accommodate the thickness of the bandages. His reason for doing this was to find out if the pain would be relieved by lifting my arch. Praise God! the pain was gone. This let the podiatrist know that he could make a mold of my feet and have inserts made to fit MY FEET. (I'd tried all the store-bought inserts to no avail.)
The inserts cost $300 and only fit into whole tie-up shoes--such as tennis shoes. After we learned that this "worked" for me, he ordered some shorter inserts with less arch lift that I could wear in dressy, flat shoes.
Next a beautician told me that I could most likely wear Mephisto shoes, even though they are expensive. I first bought some Mephisto sandals, and they worked because the pad of the shoe conforms to the sole of the foot allowing the arch to be lifted naturally. Heidi was the first Mephisto sandal I bought.
Now I wear Mephisto whole shoes with the thinner inserts made by the podiatrist and Mephisto sandals. I like to shop for shoes at The Walking Store. Except for wearing high heels, I look like a normal person. No one knows that I can walk ONLY because I'm wearing the right shoes with the right insert or the right sandals. Ularia in several colors is my summer, dress sandal. I have since learned that there are some other shoe manufacturing companies that make shoes similar to Mephisto. Naot's Ashley is a favorite pair. Merrell also make shoes I can wear. There are probably other companies, but I've not learned about them yet.
$120 to $250 seems like a lot to pay for shoes, but if it means the difference in walking without pain and not walking at all, it is WORTH it. Now you understand why I wear the t-shirt from Kansas City, "Will Work for Shoes."
Oh, and BTW: I have this condition because I was born without a metatarsal arch in my toes. I always thought other people had deformed feet when I saw their toes arching up. Now, I realize that my feet are lacking the arch. That's why they are flat and almost curved downward. Just saying!

There are some things you can do for bunion relief such as apply a commercial, nonmedicated toe bunion pad around the bony prominence. Wear shoes with a wide and deep toe box. If your toe bunion becomes inflamed and painful, apply ice packs several times a day to reduce swelling. Avoid high-heeled shoes over two inches tall. See your podiatric physician if pain persists.

I would LOVE to wear heels. But since I have already had three foot surgeries so I could play racquetball with no pain, instead I wear sneakers and Crocs.

Although Foot Bunions tend to run in families, it is the foot type that is passed down not the foot bunion. Parents who suffer from poor foot mechanics can pass their problematic foot type on to their children, who, in turn, are also prone to developing foot bunions. The abnormal functioning caused by this faulty foot development can lead to pressure being exerted on and within the foot, often resulting in bone and joint deformities such as foot bunions and hammertoes.

Other causes of toe bunions are foot injuries, neuromuscular disorders, or congenital deformities. People who suffer from flat feet or low arches are also prone to developing these problems, as are arthritic patients and those with inflammatory joint disease. Occupations that place undue stress on the feet are also a factor; ballet dancers, for instance, often develop toe bunions.

Bunion Treatment options vary with the type and severity of each foot bunion, although identifying the deformity early in its development is important in avoiding bunion surgery. Podiatric medical attention should be sought at the first indication of pain or discomfort because, left untreated, foot bunions tend to get larger and more painful, making nonsurgical bunion treatment less of an option.

A Toe Bunion is an enlargement of the joint at the base of the big toe–the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint – that forms when the bone or tissue at the big toe joint moves out of place. This forces the toe to bend toward the others, causing an often painful lump of bone on the foot. Since this joint carries a lot of the body´s weight while walking, Toe Bunions can cause extreme Foot Pain if left untreated. The MTP joint itself may become stiff and sore, making even the wearing of shoes difficult or impossible. Foot Bunions – from the Latin "bunio," meaning enlargement – can also occur on the outside of the foot along the little toe, where it is called a "bunionette" or "tailor´s bunion."

Several bunion surgical procedures are available to the podiatric physician. Bunion surgery will remove the bony enlargement, restore the normal alignment of the toe joint, and relieve foot pain. A simple bunionectomy, in which only the bony prominence is removed, may be used for the less severe deformity. Severe foot bunions may require a more involved procedure, which includes cutting the bone and realigning the joint.
Bunion Treatment options vary with the type and severity of each foot bunion, although identifying the deformity early in its development is important in avoiding bunion surgery.
