I could go on forever. Two years of struggles. first year, Plantar Fasciitis (self diagnosed and treated with stretching (not enough), good shoes and inserts. Then morphed inferior calcaneal bursitis. Several steroid shots worked great, but cased a complete rupture of the plantar fascia at the end of one year. I jumped out of the back of my pickup (2.5'). Year two, rehab of rupture. Walking boot, PT, and seems like it will never be the same.

Most of the above could be avoided by regular calf stretching. Not just when it starts to hurt, but several times a week, to several times a day. Yoga was helping until COVID. STRETCH, STRETCH, STRETCH!!!!
