Plantar Facilitis - ouch

I'm 40 and I feel so much older. When I get out of bed I have to hobble to the bathroom. The pain in one of my feet(mainly in the heel) is agony.
I work in healthcare and are on my feet all day, the pain does subside as the day goes on and I normally take painkillers. If I do sit down for any length of time, like driving when I go to walk again it feels the same.
Can anyone give me tips of how to cure this please 🙏 TIA

I use planter fasciitis heel insoles from Superdrug which really helps.I also stretch out my feet by rotating before I get out of bed and a tennis ball rolled under the arch of the foot on the floor whilst sat down of and evening helps too

A heel and arch support like this is what you need .I can't find the Superdrug own brand online unfortunately but this is what you need and don't wear dead flat slip on shoes or flip flops as there's no arch support and will cause planter fasciitis 👍🏻
