Last comment then back to clinic
The spur is almost never an issue. In some cases you can get a nerve entrapment there. The symptoms are similar, though slightly different from plantar fasciitis.

Plantar fascia
The pads can be cut to fit just over the area where you have PF. I'd put a new pad on every morning before putting my shoes on.
In about three weeks the PF was completely gone and it never came back.

Do you recall the type of pad you are referring to and a name. My podiatrist only gives 3 shots, I’m on #2 and I prefer not to have surgery.

Protalus inserts have eliminated my issues, I used to not be able to put my heels on the ground the first ten minutes after I woke up.

I dealt with it off and on for 10 years. A few months ago I started cutting sugar and carbs from my diet to lose a few pounds. I noticed after several weeks that my feet no longer hurt and did some research. Turns out sugar can cause nerve inflammation.

It's pretty much a last resort surgery but from what I understand it always works. They cut the plantar fascia ligament so it's impossible for it to contract and cause pain.

I looked in the "foot care" section of the drugstore and found it there. It came in a box about the size of a typical box of band-aids. Each self-adhesive pad was about 3" by 4" and had a paper backing that I peeled off after cutting the size I needed to put on the spot on my foot.
The description on the side of the box said it was for plantar removal.

Get the surgery and have the same problems regardless. Go ahead.

I wonder if there's something to this. I had PF in a bad way before going keto and losing weight. My PF went away. Even when my thyroid went out and I re-gained weight, the PF never returned. I remained keto even with the weight gain.
My wife has had a bad case of PF for years--tried the shot, insoles, etc. She's a healthy weight, but she's much less strict about keto than I am.

Go to New Balance and get inserts. Continue to stretch daily. No shortcuts

You can get a sleeping boot to wear at night. It keeps foot in a straight position preventing your foot from relaxing and pointing down while you sleep. You’ll have very little pain in the morning and it helps heal

My PF was rough and nothing I did corrected it. Then I got injections in both feet which hurt like a bitch due to the nerves in the foot. Those injections worked miracles and cured my PF. Since then I only use Sol inserts in every shoe I own including workout and running shoes.. Don’t let anyone put a knife to your feet.

I tried that. Didn't do anything for me except come unfastened all the time.

It can be a good option, but has a slightly lower success rate.
Topaz also has less complications and a quicker recovery I think.

Had that, it’s miserable. New Balance shoes & inserts cured it.

That is a plantar wart not plantar fasciitis.
If the OP is in BR go see Dr. Christian Hall. He will give you the shot, tape it and a night boot. He also has a list of acceptable tennis shoes to wear. I wear the Brooks Beast.
I haven’t had the surgery but I’ve had it in both feet. Right foot several years ago and cleared up in a month or so. Left foot now I’ve been fooling with it for 5 months but it is getting better. Stretch, the frozen bottle and be vigilant with your shoes. The night boot really helps me because it keeps it level and it makes getting out of bed enjoyable instead of not wanting to because of the pain.
Also don’t walk on a treadmill. Ride a bike.

I used KT tape and wrapped it up like a video found online. Seemed to work pretty well for me.

I had it for about a year, used insoles for temporary relief. Finally lost 50 lbs and then it all went away. Also took up cycling which probably helped stretch the foot a lot too.
