Plantar fasciitis: There are a lot more that can be done, from physical therapy to surgery. The other thing to consider is that you may have something other than plantar fasciitis that mimics heel pain. A revisit and revaluation seems like your best bet. Good luck!

3 years????: thats way too long. THis is a condition that should be treated. Considerations; is it really just plantar fascitiis? it is possible you have tarsal tunnel as well. THis is often overlooked. If it is truly fascitiis i would consider a tx you haven't tried i.e low energy shockwave or an amniotic injection or PRP…I would check to see if your orthotics are effective, stretch often...

My therapy: I assume that you have been to doctors and that you really have fasciitis and not something else. I disagree with standard treatment. To treat yourself at home, do the following: increase circulation with nightly hot soaks of the feet and wear heavy socks at night to bed. Activate your skin reflexes to increase local circulation and pain control daily. No drugs. Stop inserts as you improve.
