Hi,
The treatment of plantar fasciitis, when not responding to medicines is local injections, either steroids or PRP. Shoe modification with silicone heels also helps in long-term.
I would also advise an X-ray of both the heels in lateral view assessing the calcaneal spur, the presence of which, increases swelling in the area. Rarely surgery is required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
