First and foremost, I am so sorry. I had it over the summer and it took a good two or three months for it to heal. Be patient---you will get better. You should be able to ride your bike and do low impact stuff while you're getting better. Swim (so says the swimming addict, haha. Seriously, it does help). Or aqua jog.

Wearing a night brace helped me tremendously, especially with the horrible first steps after sleep pain. Forget the Strassburg sock--it will pull too much on your big toe. In any event, Road Runner Sports sells a decent brace online (worth every penny of the cost).

Proceed cautiously and don't do any foot/lower leg strengthening work until the PT thinks you're ready. I had major setbacks when an inexperienced PT had me doing barefoot balance work on a foam pad too soon. Stretching helps a lot, icing it as well (bucket filled w/ice water suffices nicely). Agree the massage will help it heal faster as well. I've found some good tips at a heelsspurs.com or .org (can't remember which). In addition, Wahine posted a thread on it, so if you search, you'll find her tips.

You might need to stick with having decent insoles in your shoes (work, sneakers, etc). Superfeet worked great for me. In addition, Birkenstocks and Naot make supportive shoes that don't require the insole. Naot has some work-friendly styles and so comfortable.

Best wishes for a fast recovery!!
