Will sleeping in good shoes help plantar fasciitis?

I met someone with plantar fasciitis who said she sleeps in her new Brooks Addiction sneakers in the hopes of speeding up the healing of her foot problem. Her podiatrist told her to wear this brand of shoe 24/7 and she is taking him literally!

Does anyone know if wearing shoes to bed as well as during the day will help heal plantar fasciitis faster?

Have you or someone you know had Achilles tendon lengthening surgery?

Hi, I had my Achilles tendon lengthened in early October and I was wondering how many people had or know someone that had or have the same surgery or condition (tip toe walking). Thanks :)

Do you enjoy massaging your achilles tendon?

I really enjoy applying pressure to my achilles tendon by flexing my foot forward and massaging it with the back of my thumb and the knuckles of my finger. It’s painful, but it’s a good kind of pain and I find it also soothing and relaxing. I’ve been massaging my achilles tendons mostly everyday for a really long time. I was just curious to see if anyone had the same habit.
