I have had plantar fasciitis for a long time now. I do not always have pain in my feet, but have been experiencing muscle tightness too.
Anyone else experiencing this? What can I do to get some relief?

Also rollinh anfrozen bottle of water under arches helps loosen tight arch. I never walk without my shoes with arches that help eliminate some pressure and good shoes.

The main cause of PF is the tightening of the calf muscles due to old age 40+ or a change of activity so yes my calf muscles ache every morning until I have done some exercise to stretch them but at least I do not get the stabbing pain in the heel that is classic PF. The rolling pin should help but try all the calf stretching exercises as some work better than others for different people. I never found icing helped as it just numbed the foot, warm footbaths or playing the shower on the sole and calf gave instant relief.
Gel insoles and heel pads certainly helped to carry on walking with PF and I still have them in most of my shoes,trainers and walking boots.
