Re: I need some advice...

I have had PF for several years. I use custom orthotics with my sneakers. It has help me. I've been pretty much pain free for over a year. I do avoid any heavy impact stress on my feet, like jumping, running on hard surfaces (ceramic tile, cement etc.), I even step off the bus slowly and try to land softly on my feet at all times.
I know it's expensive and a major investment. My brother had PF but got relief from a Dr. Scholls heel pad, so it's hard to tell if something less expensive will help you. If you can suffer along a bit longer try the OTC remedies first.
I did have three shots over the course of a year (no more for me). They help me too. Sometimes you need to do a combination of meds, stretching, shoes, orthotics, etc. to find the right combination for you.
Good Luck!
