Yes, I remember the first time the doctor downplayed how painful it would be. As I was going through it, he said it was almost over. After it was done, I commented about how painful it was, and he said, "yes, it hurts like hell."
I guess he knew if he told me the truth I might back out. He would have been right.
My Doc told me to look away before he pulled out the needle. I made the mistake of looking over at my wife who had the widest eyes I've ever seen. Then the lightning came...

As others have said good insoles or orthotics

I had this problem for over a year. Holy shite the pain walking in the morning was awful. Bathroom trips in the middle of the night were a blast..
I tried everything. Here is what finally worked for me - I bought a pair of $160 Brooks running shoes. Within two weeks I was back to normal.

Sounds like you need some more ice cream...

Cortisone shot is the best way to get that inflammation reduced. There are oral anti inflammatory meds as well.

Frozen golf ball on the floor. Roll around on bottom of foot.
As someone who has suffered with Plantar Fasciitis this oddly sounds like it would feel great. For me, the pain of it made the pain from the therapy feel good.

Could be pronation.

For everyone reading this thread and wishing they never get this torture, start strengthening your feet and doing more barefoot training. Modern shoes are a recipe for pain.
Strengthen your arch
Strengthen your heel
Don’t wear flip flops

Agreed - and I was surprised how much stretching my calf muscles improved my feet...

Seriously,,,toe yoga. Call at PT clinic and ask if their therapists can do a home exercise program for toe yoga. If they ask “what is that”, then call another until you find one that says “absolutely.”

Stretching and a boot that pulled toes upward as I slept keeping it stretched during the night.
I dealt with for a year. Seriously considered surgery. Woke up one am and it was gone.
Main thing is figure out what caused it. Usually arch support, tight calf/hamstrings.

Honestly, it's a long struggle. It may never go away completely. You have to stretch your calf muscles. Use a small ball and really press down on it. Never, ever walk barefoot. Plantar Fasciitis freaking sucks.

I’ve got insets from new balance
I am over 200 lbs. but I use the work ones in any shoes I buy. They seem to work best for me.
I had a pair of Reeboks that made me a cripple. These inserts changed the whole way the shoe felt. I wore them out after using these.

One thing that's crucial (ask your doctor for how long) is that when you get out of bed in the morning, your first steps (and the rest of them) need to be inside a comfortable shoe.
And you definitely gotta do the rolling foot on the frozen water bottle thing, plus some quality foot stretching.
Takes time, but you should be okay as long as you stay consistent with the stuff above.

Have been getting astym and dry needle weekly. It does help but doesn’t eliminate

insoles and foot stretcher did their work. Both were recommended by my Podiatrist.
I went one visit to a podiatrist. Doc's recommendation was some insoles. They heated them up to soften and shape them better to my feet (assuming that's the normal process). She said life time free coming back in and reshaping if ever needed. Cost 90 bucks for the visit beyond whatever insurance paid. That was several years ago. The problem quickly went away, has never came back, and I have never needed to go have them reshaped.
Doc said it would take a little getting used to and to take it easy. frick that, I wore them 100% of the time immediately. It didn't hurt, or maybe I didn't notice due to the existing pain that hadn't yet gone away, but either way, a couple days in it no longer felt abnormal and the pain was gone.
It's probably not a one solution works for everyone, but that definitely worked for me.
