Also had plantar fascia problems years ago. Now having Achilles issues. Since then, I have not been able to wear anything flat, like flip flops. Always need good arch support. What helped me, along with taking many doses of Aleve with great success, was getting a boot to wear at night. The boot keeps the foot/ankle in 45 degrees which prevents the foot from dropping while you sleep, hence shortening the whole fascia and Achilles tendon. Whenever I have problems, I throw that boot on at night without reservation, and start stretching 2-3 times per day. Always does the trick. Icing frequently is also very important, to help decrease the inflammatory cells that congregate there. Good luck Debbie
