Can plantar fascists cause pain up the ankle and into the calf?

Possibly: If the increased tension on plantar fascia in arch coincides with a tight achilles tendon which insetrs into back of the heel and runs originates from calf muscles. Additionally, if you are favoring foot and as a result not walking properly, pain can be caused in other areas.
