@cyndica I am sorry you are going through it. I also have this, I took the cortisone injection once and it fixed it for about 4 months. I spent tons on shoes and inserts like you, and like you I also did physical therapy.
I have now been about 5 years and I can tell you it does ebb and flow and I have found that if I don’t replace my shoes or my inserts in a timely fashion it definitely gets worse.
I eventually landed on merril moab3 shoes and when I buy a pair, I also purchase a second set of insoles. When the pain starts to increase I change them, when it begins to increase a second time I buy a new pair of shoes. This way I get nearly a year from a pair of shoes.
What has helped or not helped you?

Sorry to hear you've suffered as well. I have been through two pairs of Hoka Bondi, and Brooks Adrenaline. The Brooks are the most comfortable for walking longer distances, exercising and everyday. Every pair of shoe I own I use Superfeet or Walk Hero insoles. Night splints to sleep or the pain first thing in the a.m. sends me through the roof. Some days better than others, if I do my stretches, foot roller and toeless compression socks I feel almost normal. Still blame the anastrozole (and maybe an extra 20 lbs from not being as active as I used to be). Hope this finds you healthy and in good spirits.
