Over the years I've had it in each foot. Both times when the pain became unbearable I got cortisone injections and the pain went away

Cortisone helps. For me, a former marathon runner, I had to add a stretch. After stretching calves and hamstrings, I'd reach down, like a hurdler pose, and grab my big toe and pull back. Hold for 30-60 seconds, then grab the other four toes and pull them back for 30-60 seconds. This is the best way I know to stretch the PF during calf and hamstring stretches. PF is usually caused by chronic tightness in these muscles.
The good news - even if heel spurs develop - surgery is almost never required. Stretching is not an option however.
The frozen lime and margaritas sounds like the most fun though!
