Similar to the sock, I have a boot my podiatrist gave me to sleep in that pulls the toes upward to stretch out tendons. Works wonders. I’d look on amazon or somewhere for one of those.

Mine is pretty debilitating in my left foot.

I need some arches in my work dress shoes.

I can walk on it some mornings.

Go to an orthopedist and get the cortico-steroid injection in the bottom of your foot. You aren’t going to like it. However. it clears up the problem almost immediately.

I started suffering from PF in 2011. You have already received a lot of good advice in this thread. Do the morning stretches.

What really helped me is good shoes and proper custom made insoles.

I got custom made insoles from Archcrafters. They made the biggest difference. If you get a proper insole made, then over time. it will somewhat correct your arch. So you need make new ones once in a while. I have been wearing them for the past 3 years (one second one now) and they have made the most difference. I do not mind spending the $125 or so once a year as I consider this a health-and-wellness expenditure and not a luxury item.

I also got some shoes with real good cushioning and arch support. After many trial, I have finally settled on merrell moab 2 ventillator shoes. I wear them for work. I work at an university, so I do not have to wear formal shoes. So it works for me. If the dress code at your work allows it, consider some hiking shoes, as in my research they offer the best combination of footbed cushioning and arch support. Also, consider the mid-ankle hiking boots. They stabilize your ankle and stop your ankles from caving in.

Now a days, on most days, I do not feel any pain at all. If I have walked a lot or had to wear formal shoes, at times I feel a little bit of stiffness.

Wife had it really bad. Went somewhere and ended up getting fitted for special shoes that look like running shoes at varsity spirts. That took care of it.
Secretary did the exact same thing.

Stick your feet in a bucket of ice water. Only thing that worked for me.

Are you sure it's not fibromyalgia?

Frozen water bottle and a tennis ball. I got rid of it in about a week.

Got it in both feet for the first time in my life at 44. Left foot was almost unbearable. Didn't know what the frick was wrong with me. Had only barely even heard of Plantar Faciitis. Doctor said I needed surgery. Wife (pic attached) had been after me since I first started limping. Just got worse and worse. Brought these home and bruh I kid you not. 18 hours later ZERO pain and haven't had since except for one little pang when I stopped wearing the shoes that had my insoles in them for about 10 days. First thing I do now, when I buy new shoes, yank the insole out and replace them with these. $15 anywhere. I hope it works for you like it did for me, and I suspect that it will.

I had a horrible case from overextending during a calf exercise. Went to the podiatrist and got a custom insole made. Cleared it up after a few days of walking on it.

Look at superfeet inserts for your shoes on amazon. Got a good pair of shoes and put in these inserts. That did the trick for me.

Get a pair of SUPERFEET insoles. These help a lot. You need to get the correct type for your feet. I went to a shoe store that watches a person walk, then they can tell what type of shoe or insole a person will need. All insoles are NOT alike.

Magnesium will also help. You'd need to ask a doctor how much you need to take. Each person needs a different amount.

Go to a podiatrist and get a shot. It helped me almost instantly and I’ve been good since (almost two years now). The shot does suck, but it is worth it.

Go to New Balance store they will put you in the right shoe and insert, wear them every day never go barefoot. Takes a good six months but you will heal. You can then go back to your regular shoes but if you start having problems again go back to NB shoes.
