Thanks, everyone, for the replies/suggestions! Good vibes definitely help. :-)

The good news is that I seem to be improving and could walk to my car after work yesterday without really bad pain. Weirdly, the fascia is very sore but I'm no longer having intense pain in my foot or arch. Massaging it with my little nubby ball helps. I think I'm starting to get better, so I'm going to keep up what I've been doing and be very very conservative in limiting my weight bearing activities.

If I don't continue to improve, I will ask the doctor for another script for PT when I see him on the 21st. Then I'll search for/consult with a McKenzie therapist.

Thanks again---I deeply appreciate all the responses. When diagnosed, I accepted the fact that it was going to be a long road to recovery. PT was making it so much worse, however, and that treatment set me back.

Wahine---The deep massage made my foot much worse (she massaged it, in addition to my calf and my IT band). My pelvis is tilted/torqued slightly, so my right leg is slightly shorter than my left. The PT didn't think the leg length discrepancy was an issue, even though I pointed out to her the tightness in the right leg from my glute to my ankle. In addition, the entire right side of my body is stronger than my left, which I guess is normal. I have to be very careful not to slouch to the right side when I sit.

Quite honestly, I don't care if I ever run again. I just want to be back to normal. I miss walking my dogs!
