Stretching calves, : Weight loss, review your diet, get an osteopathic evaluation.

Combo treatment. : If you have plantar fasciitis, and hurt most with the first few steps in the morning, the more you can do together, the better: #1: supportive shoes. #2: firm inserts or orthotics. #3: oral antiinflammatories (check with your doctor). #4: stretching your foot and calf. #5: icing (10 min at a time). You may also need physical therapy or cortisone injections, or eswt if available in your area.

That is consistent: What you are describing can be consistent with plantar fasciitis. Pain can be in the arch and/or heel area. A good treatment plan can include stretching exercises, good supportive shoes (including arch supports) and antiinflammatories. Sometimes steroid injections or physical therapy is required. Thought this can be stubborn, most cases are resolved before surgery.
