Have you seen a specialist like an podiatrist or sporst injury specialist? There aren't really any supplements that will replace rest, a good diet and preventative/rehabilitative stretches and exercises. -------------- Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help with man with the wrong mental attitude. - W.
