So far nothing has worked for me either,but haven't tried acupuncture on my feet, have had it for my knee and go for monthly treatments, helps reduce the swelling somewhat, but pain returns within a day, trying red light therapy right now and will see if that helps, between either PF or neuropathy and my knee needing replacement I am having trouble walking though try to keep it up to some extent, find if you don't keep your muscles active it gets worse.

I'm late to these posts,but I've had plantar fascitis for over two years. Dr put me in a hard cast that made it worse at the beginning of pain journey and then a walking boot. I'm a firm believer that these things DON'T do any good! Since then I've been doing everything the usual protocol recommends and still have it. In fact it's made my knee and leg hurt constantly due to the shifting of my gait. I'm so frustrated I just want surgery to resolve it permanently. I'm a little apprehensive about it so has anyone had the surgery?
