Are your orthotics hard or soft? There was a study that got a lot of press. I think it's in another part of the PF site. The study showed that over the counter inserts gave more relief than custom made orthotics. All the orthopedists who replied said, "Well, of course, because the study used hard plastic orthotics." I guess hard plastic is what orthopedists normally use to force the foot & ankle into the right posture. But for PF, you want lots of heel cushioning and arch support.
