He went to the doctor; he did stretches, rolling, had the boot, he did it all.

This fixed it. Read it and watch the video. The trick is to hold the stretches over 2 min.--the article (or video) explains why this works.

^^This stretch does work, as well as others. I also got running shoes for PF and it helped A LOT. I think I have the Saucony ISO Ride and it helped me to continue to work out with pain. The shoes are very cushioned.

Things I did: physical therapy. Rolling my foot on frozen water bottle multiple times a day. Orthotics in running shoes. Tens unit. Some stupid “light box” thing that a friend loaned me that she had gotten from Hammacher Schlemmer that I put my feet on in the evenings. Sleeping in boot. Sleeping in Strasburg sock. Anti inflammatories. It took at least 6 months to go away.

Op here. I have a quick question. From all this stretching and ball rolling my foot is throbbing even more than normal. Is this good or does it mean I’m doing something wrong? I feel like I’m walking on a marble.

I am going to make another podiatrist appt. I ordered heel cups today too as I hadn’t tried those before (I did wear compression sleeves)
