Just booked an appointment with a podiatrist to get checked out, but it's not for a few weeks. My foot hurts and rest and massage didn't cure it. I went no barefoot walking, no running (this kills the joggercel), self massage with a lacrosse ball etc, all the stuff google results tell you to do. It's arch, big toe and heel pain. trifecta baby 
If I'm developing a bunion I'll fricking kill myself. Have any dramachads overcome chronic foot ailments before, if so, any helpful advice? My feet aren't sexy so I'm not going to post them 
Anyone here deal with chronic plantar fasciitis/foot problems?

I heard steroid injections will fix foot pain.

I will ask the podiatrist about getting these
They would reduce the inflammation for sure

I am a normal BMI but am losing still, this is always good advice. Already working on it. Not being able to run is annoying but it forced me to do more weights and watch my intake. before i could just run 5 miles a day and not watch calories but still lose pounds

I have shitty feet and had plantar fasciitis for a long time
turned out it originated in having absurdly tight calves so I ended up getting a slant board and standing on it for half an hour a day to stretch the shit out of it
probably not helpful for you tho

Update to this old post - Your comment is exactly what the podiatrist said was my issue, tight achilles and calves. I noticed that doing a bunch of hip hinge stretch movements + tripling my foam roller usage and regular icing has helped. Thought I was stretching enough but apparently not.

if it's the tight achilles and calves I 100% recommend a slant board. I have one in front of my standing desk so when I wfh I can get in an hour or two or solid stretch. I also do hip stretches which are good, but imho a $25 slant board requires next to no effort and has a huge impact

I broke a toe ten years ago and didn't realize it so for the last two years I've been working on fixing all the shitty posture I'd developed to avoid the pain
Standing is way more complicated than it should be
e: advice. Pay attention to how it feels to stand and walk on your good foot and try to do the same things on your bad foot
