SHIT! I had it myself for about 5 or 6 months. I went in & got the shot (watching a six inch needle go in my 3 inch wide foot and not come out the other side still puzzles me). After they picked my ass up off the floor (actually I didn't faint) I went home, used the stretchy-thingamabob they told me to get (looks like a giant ski boot you are supposed to be able to put on while you sleep, yeah right). After not having any luck with that, I finally said screw it & continued to run. I kid you not, one day I woke up & it was gone. Took a while, but it went away after about half a year.
I had a similar experience with tennis elbow, tried all the stuff, quit treating it & it went away. My brother currently has plantar & he has tried everything as well.
I was running when I got it, when I finally gave up trying to fix it I went out & bought different shoes & continue to run in pain. Nothing I can think of made it go away, it just happened...wish I could give you a little more hope, but that's my take on the whole thing. it's been five years & haven't gotten it since.
