Physical therapy can help you more than anything else. It has been successful for several friends of mine who have had brain trauma, including aneurysm, cancer, and infection.

Get your sneakers or most comfortable and flexible shoes, and find a step with something you can hang on to, you will need help with your balance: holding on to the rail, back of a chair, or whatever, place the ball of your feet ( from the center to the toes) on the step. Lower your heels slowly and then up on yor tiptoes counting to 3. lower slowly and repeat 8 times. do 3 series of these. Then you can try doing the same with your feet turned out (for the inner calves) and feet turned in (outer calves ). When you get stronger, try doing this exercise on only one foot at a time. Do these exercises on alternate days, to let your muscles rest and develope. You'll see results in two weeks. \nThe other alternative is surgery, which I would not recomend. These exercises work wonders. Walking and riding a bike also work well, these however isolate the muscles you are trying to develope.

Surgery is the worst case alternative to cure the plantar's fasciitis.  However, specially made orthotic inserts from the podiatrist did wonders for me personally.  Other suggestions would be losing weight if you are over weight, and spending less time up on your feet.  Make sure you are walking properly with heel to toe steps.

you can try to keep your feet elevated when you have time to sit or lay. you can soak them in warm water or try massage when possible, good luck

Do cardio exercise. Walking is fine.

Drink lots of water, stay away from salt and put your feet up.\nIf it gets too bad see your Doctor. After all my test, my Doctor said I was fine just put your feet up!

Try water aerobics. That's a low impact way to strengthen joints.

I suffered from this years ago when I started my first year of marching band.  Make fun if you want, but marching band is hard work.  You do so much walking, and not normal walking either.  They taught us what they called the roll-step, which reduces the bounce in your walk, and involves pointing your toe way up in the air as you start your stride, thus stretching the calf muscle.  This was my first year of doing this, and doing it repeatedly for a few days caused me so much pain on the front of my right calf muscle that they put me on crutches the rest of the week.  After the worst of it healed, I would from the on wrap my leg from the bottom of my knee to the ankle with an ace bandage to try and support my calf and keep everthing "tight" while marching.  It still bugs me to this day if I do anything to strenuous, especially on hard surfaces, with that leg.  I was also suggested a little exercise which helps also with sore ankles.  Pretend your toe is the tip of a pen, and write the alphabet in cursive in the air with your toe.  Sound silly, but try it.

Make sure you always rebound and tumble on your toes. I know it may sound silly but try walking on your toes all the time next practice.  It strengthens them really well.  If they continue to hurt see a doctor.  Ice and stretching helps mega well.\n\n(please vote me as best answer)

I agree with the afternoon walk idea - you could also try giving yourself a foot massage before bed to see if that helps.

Only you can cure yourself. Physical and mental fitness should have uppermost priority in your mind. Everything will be simple then. Once you make up your mind and start going out for a brisk walk then challenge will be to continue it without any break. Any physical exercise if not taken for three days in a row, you will not feel like doing it again hence never take break if taken don't allow it to persist for more than three days. Best wishes!

get your doctor to write a script for it saying it is exercise needed to help keep you from deteriorationg...then insurance shoudl pay for it.

rest and let it heal - absolutely nothing else except time can fix this. 6 weeks of low or no leg work

you need to exercise because thc (cannabis) can cling to fat cells therefore excercise and saunas are great, you should also get some of these detox pads for the feet , you get them on ebay and they are fab.  6-8 weeks is the time taken if you indulge heavily and frequently and drink water constantly.  goodluck it can be done but you need to be dedicated.
