Plantar Faciitis can be agony. I had it years ago, and was told to wear trainers (I had to get rid of all my high heels, which the GP said was the cause). My job then involved a lot of driving, and I had to have 9 weeks off work.
I tried various painkillers, exercises, insoles. In the end, the only thing that helped was steroid injections.
