However, I had other intense muscle problems with my foot (after some nerve damage from back problems), such as intense cramping periodically during the night and the muscle on the top of the ankle going into clonus with just the slightest provocation. Obviously, my leg muscles were not good either. A very good neuromuscular massage therapist did 2 massage treatments centered especially on my feet, lumbar spine, and legs. The third treatment, she did some very deep massage with the heel. Immediately thereafter, my plantar fasciitis got very much worse. On a 1-10 scale, it went from a 1 to a 10. I'm barely able to walk at all in the morning, and the whole day, I have pretty intense heel pain with each step, even using a cane to help. Can you explain what happened? And would you recommend any more massage (after it hopefully cools down, using your above mentioned therapies)? Thank you so very much for your time!! Sincerely, Vicki Sauder Dear Sir,
