I had it maybe five years ago. It was a bitch to even walk BUT skiing and cycling was no problem so...

I just woke up and the pain is nearly gone. Strange. I took advil and rested it yesterday. I slept through the night, from 9:30 to almost 6, very rare for me.
PF hurts most in the morning after waking up as mentioned elsewhere. Probably PT I suspect. Or gout. Or diva...
In the past I had Plantar in both feet. Got better as I walked on it. If I sat down for 10 minutes it was back. It went away after about 9 months. I wore better shoes with arch supports for Plantar. I recently got it again in my left foot. This time was from wearing a pair of Georgia Romeo boots for a few days that are slightly too narrow in the heels. I was packing up to move to Virginia. I got it when I had to have TKR on my left knee. I have also had the knife below the ankle a few times that does not feel too good. This time as I was recovering from surgery it went away in about two months. Probably because I was off of my leg for the most part. I avoid hard floors as they can cause it to recur. Whatever you have I wish you a speedy recovery. I would also advise that you have a doctor look at it.
Baby it and you may skip a full blown episode. Trust me you do not want it if it can be avoided.
Sounds like gout to me hence why the Advil may have worked. Do you have a history of gout attacks? My doctor prescribed a super strength NSAID that helps to knock it down if it flairs up.
Yep, I put a pair in slightly oversized slippers and Rockport boat shoes (size 15), but tend to wear the latter more.
Years ago I had a bout of problems with my plantar fascia. I finally figured out what was causing it. The doors at work were big heavy things with metal kick plates at the bottom. Without even realizing it, I had gotten into the habit of opening them by putting my toes against the kick plate and pressing down. Quit doing that and it healed eventually.
I still can't do lunges (the exercise) -- they hurt the fascia on the back foot.

Imagine , thanks to insomnia I wake up every night, walk barefoot around the house in total darkness in a house with a floor disseminated of Lego pieces... :-DI have been wearing Hoka One One's pretty much exclusively for about 2 years. I am rarely barefoot, not with a dog and bones/toys left around the house.
That looks exactly how I got over PT, lot of rest, no skiing (meaning no feet into a SkiBoot for some days) and the swell and pain were gone...
BTW, Yes, we have been derailing the thread quite some with all the talks of PF, whereas, me too am convinced that is more a case of PT (don't know about gout), sorry Phil. In any case, do go see a doc and explain him/her the problem (maybe some picture of the swollen anatomical part would also help)

I am not on anything now.
I was able to get my foot into a warmed boot but I could not flex it. I will be taking another day off icing and adviling.

Did you just leave the boot on so you don't have to go through putting it on tomorrow?For me, it has to be a first.
Yes, seems like everyone has been telling stories of their, their mother and their dog’s cases of PF. Out of all the most likely causes, @Philpug’s symptoms sound least like PF to me. Good to hear you’re feeling better. Keep doing what you’re doing.

Yes, this is feeling more and more like Peroneal Tendonitis.
I‘m still not sure about tendinitis. For all those who have had some sort of tendinitis (Achilles, patellar/jumper’s knee, lateral epicondyle/tennis elbow, peroneal, etc) did you have redness of the area over the tendinitis? I’ve never seen tendinitis cause any skin redness apart from when patients rub that area over and over again. It can certainly cause tenderness of the area. It seems to have come on too acutely to be tendinitis which is generally a more gradual onset with slow worsening. Yes, one can get acute tendinitis but that generally occurs when someone does a physically demanding activity that they’re not accustomed to doing. It still sounds more like a mild gout attack to me. Another consideration is a deep tissue contusion or bruise caused by the change in canting resulting in a change in how your boot interacts with your foot at that area. It could have also been caused by a sudden impact ie coming down hard after a big rebound or a jump that slammed your foot into your boot. A contusion can cause all the symptoms you’re having.
^ Lots of tendonitis issues and never any redness with the exception of the Achilles insertion tendonitis, after the fact, when it would become inflamed from activity.
