How long should I wait for improvement of my PF?

I was diagnosed with PF in my left foot last week. The podiatrist
wants me to do stretching exercises twice a day and wear Tuli cups in my shoes. I also bought a pair of jogging shoes with heel cushioning and arch supports. How long should it be until I feel some improvement, or how long will it be until I know whether or not this is working? I saw my podiatrist last Wednesday, and already the pain is worse. Anti-inflammatory medications (NSAID's) are not being used because they failed to work on two previous occasions with other foot and ankle problems. Does this problem worsen quickly? Three weeks after my first podiatrist appointment last August I had to have surgery to remove a calcium deposit because that problem was crippling me. Is PF like that? I can't get off my feet because I'm a full-time middle school teacher and full-time graduate student.Thank you for your help!
