I had hip replacement surgery on my right hip a few years back and I developed plantar fasciitis in my left foot while recovering.
If you have never had plantar fasciitis, it’s like waking up every morning with the feeling the bottom of your foot has been hit with a hammer.
II did all kinds of exercises and eventually over a few weeks it gradually went away.

Extremely painful. The stretches help 1st thing in the morning. My doctor gave me a shot of Cortizone in the bottom of my heel 20 years ago, and I’ve never had a problem with it since.

I’ve had plantar fasciitis for the last ten years, or so. After about a year of it, I finally figured out the pain would stop if I used shoe inserts. Proper shoe inserts make the pain completely go away. If I stop using them, the pain starts to come back, prompting me to buy new ones. I’ve worn out dozens of the inserts. They generally cost about ten bucks a pair in discount stores. I even put them in my slippers. I found it very important to buy only the inserts that specifically have “plantar fasciitis” predominately printed on the package. The ones that look the same but don’t have that label don’t work.
I like the ones that have the shape of a full shoe. They have to be cut to fit, but they don’t slip out of place while walking. I walk about 4 - 5 miles a day.
The ones that have just the half shoe shape will stop the pain, but often slip out of place while in use. I have to stop and take off my shoe to slip them back into position. I have tired gluing them into position, which only partially works. I’ve had the shoes wear out under the glue, and then the pain comes back. The full shoe shaped ones with the words “ plantar fasciitis” printed on them are quite a bit harder to find.
