I also have some other issues, and I cannot say it is gone, but it is bearable. The inserts are a whole foot insert that has a hard plastic support for the foot, the hard plastic is cut out under the heel. Then it has a varying density gel for the whole foot, and it has a covering over that. The brand I like the best is peak. I bought them at a TJ Maxx for 7.99. I have also bought dr scholls variety with heel cut out, but they were not great. I learned a few tricks in physical therapy too. First, she taught me how to tape which really cuts the pain so you can do your stretches. I couldn’t explain it but it is worth asking your doctor or therapist about. Next up was sitting in my chair and using a tension band to stretch my feet in every direction, don’t forget to flex your toes up as far as you can a few times, each time you do them. Lastly she taught me to practice balance. Standing on one foot for 3 minutes, which I really had to work up to, then the other foot. I don’t know how much of that will or won’t help, but I can tell you my Pf is do able, and prior to this it was otherworldly painful. Good luck.
