If you are working for a large company working in an intership as a custodian and almost 12 hours a day are spent on your feet and you developed pain in your feet, So you go to the company dictor and he dianosis you with plantar fasciitis, you wait 2 week following the doc's orders and another doctor tell you its not plantar fasciitis and your options are to deal with it or leave the internship.
Now here is the delema, you need the internship to be considered a full time student, if you leave you wont get the credit and in turn wont get money from the GI Bill and in turn will not be able to pay for and bills.
what do you do?
Can you sue said company for forcing you out if you get another opinion from you own doctor?

plantar fasciitis is easily treated, if that is indeed what you have. i may have some help for you regarding that issue. try going to myfootshop.com for some advice, the website has foot education and discussion forums with doc. use the source to give you a direct link and check it out, i don't think you get plantar fasciitis from your work however it can add to the discomfort due to not being able to get the foot rest and time to heal. i work in a podiatry office and it is simple steps to treat plantar fasciitis. hang in there use the ideas in the articles and maybe you can work through the condition and keep your GI bill. i'm not sure on the suing issues. give the source a try and use the link to take you to site. good luck!

Ouch! Ice, ice and more ice is what you need. Plantar fasciitis is aggravated by pounding--whether it be foot strike, running on downhills often, or bounding hills. These all have quite a bit to do with sprint training. Are you doing indoor track now? If not, I would take a couple weeks off and just relax it. Do some non weight-bearing cross-training like cycling or swimming to keep up your stamina. PF will only get worse if you keep training with it, and perhaps develop into a heel spur.

I am a nurse and have suffered from plantar pain for a couple of years. The docs just say take anti-inflammatories and analgesics for the pain, but I know this was just masking the symptoms.
Anyway, I got this guide and a couple of days of following it my pain is completely gone. And I know it's really gone cause I'm not on any meds so if there was any pain left I'd know it.
Get rid of your plantar fasciitis & foot pain?

It is going to be very difficult to prove that the plantar fasciitis came from the job. I don;t think you have much of a case for a lawsuit.

Yes, especially if you stand on hard floors.
Wear a Dr Schol's arch, in the morning when you get up exercise and stretch, put a cold can of soda under your artch when you come home and at lunch and on the way home.
Shots of cortisone ca be gotten only two times, I do not suggest surgey.
Sounds like you have to work thru the pain.

It may sound funny but you need something called "jelly heels" they may not get rid of the problem but will ease the discomfort. I also bought a walking stick to help.
