I last trained about five weeks at my last grading (nidan-successful) and since then my plantar fasciitis problem has come back with an absolute vengeance. I had been controlling it with daily ice and stretching routines (rotational hamstring stretch/rotational plantar fascia stretch,etc). I've also been following a regime of strengthening (toe walking, toe grasping,etc). I've had the problem about 2 years but never this bad with almost daily pain, then it disappears and then it comes back. I've also had stabbing pain up my ankle.

My question is this: has anyone followed a regime of stretching and strengthening that has led to success or have you been forced to visit a podiatrist?

Any input will be gratefully received as it is depressing the hell out me.
