I don’t know what all you have tried for plantar fasciitis. I had it bad 20 yrs ago. I went to several specialists throughout the us, little improvement. I met an 80yr old retired podiatrist while doing some photography along the beach. He had some simple sounding ideas, 3weeks later I was painfree.
1. Arch supports are vital. Wear shoes with support ALL the time. The barefoot never touches the ground. Not at night to go take a whiz. Not in the shower. Never. You are trying to repair the band that holds your arch, every time you step without support you retear it and start over.
2. Get a night brace, that dorsiflexes the foot.
Ice and anti inflammatory make you feel better, but don’t really fix anything.
Not sure how cbd fits in
Good luck. I was ready to cut my foot off. I have to wear the brace a week or so a year now when I feel it coming back, but basically I am pain free.
