I suffered from plantar fasciitis for well over five years. Some days, I was totally down from the pain.
It was amazing how many ineffective treatments the doctors and prodiatrists had. The MDs injected huge amounts of cortisone with horse needles, there were orthotics and one prodiatrist had me scheduled for surgery to SEVER both plantar tendons.
One day, a neighbor who lives a block away, advised me to rub my feet with Vick's Vaporub every night and put on socks. Willing to try anything, I did just that every evening and again before going to bed.
The plantar fasciitis pain lessened and in about a week it was totally gone.
I have occasional light flare-ups, but a night or two of Vick's and socks and it's totally gone.
Totally true story.

PS. A hint: Don't apply Vick's to your feet and then wipe your azz.
