Oh dear, that doesn't sound fun. I had a very mild bout of plantar fasciitis which went quite quickly, but I know it can sometimes take a long time. Have you been to see a GP or physio at all? They would be able to advise if there is an underlying weakness causing the problems and give you exercises to go forward with. Hope you're able to be back running soon.
