It’s a long slow heal, but it can be done.

I had problems for years, it started mainly because I was wearing slip on Redwing boots in sticky mud at work and tore my plantar fascia.
Tried all kind of stuff and finally found HOKA Bondi shoes, got them a size too big and put a pair of Softsoles from Academy in them. Got HOKA Recovery slip-ons and HOKA Ora slides to wear around the house like house shoes.
This set up gave me the ability to do things I had a avoid for years, I wear them every day and never walk barefoot on concrete, hardwood floors or tile.m

It is really hard to heal PF because it is essentially a lot of micro tears in the tissue that start to heal and then you tear them back open. The idea of the splint to sleep in is to keep the tendon on the foot stretched so it heals while stretched rather than not and you don't tear them back open when it stretches.
a foot roller is a good start or a tennis ball. I have a foot roller from my tendonitis and it feels great.
Rubber strap and put it around your toes and stretch your toes with it flexing like a toe press (for lack of better term). it really helps.

I've been trying for weeks. It gets better, but hasn't gone away.

Lose weight
Stretch calves and feet
Roll feet with a lacrosse ball or frozen bottle
Night splint feet
Anti inflammatory drugs short term
Arch supports in shoes.
Multi pronged.
You'll have to continue some as maintenance going forward.

The only thing that worked for me was wearing the boot at night when I slept
Everything else was a waste of time

My wife and I both had it, now recovered (aside from the occasional flare up for my wife.)
Things we did that worked: Lost weight, ate keto, found a way to get off feet for moment throughout the day
Things that did not work: Foot shots, foot boots, foot exercises, rollers, foot massages, insoles, different shoes

If you get the REAL ALZNER orthotics, your problems will be gone.
I used to think plantar fasciitis was my “fat alarm” until it hit me on a 5 mile run in Australia.
Then I found the Alzner orthotics.
Problem solved.
Nothing else worked for me.

Tight calves are a culprit .. work on that.
Not just tight calves but tight lower body overall: calves, quads, hamstrings, even the muscles used to raise your toes (opposite of calves). Consistently stretching all of these will result in all things foot and ankle feeling better.

1. Good quality athletic shoes.
2. Powerstep or comparable inserts for other shoes.
3. Oofos slides and wear them 100% while at home.
4. Stretch calves and use the frozen water bottle method.

custom shoe inserts and use them all the time
This is what I did. It cost around 90 bucks for some custom molded hard plastic inserts made at a doc office. Did that like 5 years ago and problem stopped completely within days and these are still holding up solid. said I could come back any time and have them reformed if needed, but I never have.

I bought Kane's as recovery shoes to wear around the house rather than barefoot to hopefully help some.
Well, they helped so much they became the only things I wear period now, and I had tried at least 4 other different shoes and a couple inserts that were supposed to help.
They aren't super cheap, but they sure helped me.

I had it about 1p years ago. Did PT and everything else they mentioned - frozen water bottle, exercises, rest, etc, what cured it was dry needling.

I need all the help I can get without getting shots in my feet. shite hurts all the time.
No need for shots, but you will need some PT.
You need to improve flexibility in hamstrings, calves, and your Achilles tendon. Also, ankle mobility and strengthen muscles in your feet will all help. I had it in both feet, PT had me do all of that but also did some deep tissue massage on my feet and some ultrasounds to loosen the fascia.

Yes. New shoes worked for me.

Yes. I don't know who is giving you shots but they aren't doing shite. You can tape up your arch to help and also they can give you a brace to sleep in that stretches out the tendon so that it heals.
See a different doctor. Dude that you are seeing is just trying to make money.

Never go barefoot. The thing that healed mine was Birkenstocks. I bought a pair of sandals for around the house. They have a heal cup and arch support. Life changing. For dress and tennis shoes, I bought a pair of Birkenstock inserts. IDK if they still make them or not. Mine are 20 years old and still going.

Stretches helped me a lot, I followed this video on Youtube
Also, I've switched to zero drop shoes.
