A few years ago I developed plantar fasciatis suddenly of which I visited a doctor to have checked out. At the time I thought the cause of the pain was due to a sebaceous cyst that needed to be removed by surgery!😆 My GP diagnosed the issue correctly on my initial visit & prescribed a strong (prescription strength) anti-inflammatory medication in the form of tablets (diclofenac/Voltaren), which brought relief almost immediately(2-3days)!The physio who I was referred to diagnosed overpronation as the likely cause & recommended orthotic inserts & more supportive shoes. I have been wearing orthotics & haven't had it since. An important warning -anti-inflammatory medication shouldn't be taken for longer than 2-weeks!! Leading up to my plantar fasciatis I had been wearing cheap canvas shoes & I was commuting by foot alot. I hope this helps! Basically go to a doctor & you might recover much quicker!

Calf release, orthotics and a night splint helped me recover. Now I also use a tennis ball to step on if I feel any niggles.
I've had bilateral PF for over a year now. The recovery is painfully and agonizingly slow.
