Hello and welcome to healthcare magic community . Thank you very much for your query . Actually , planter fasciitis 's primary symptom is stabbing pain near heel while standing , running and walking etc . It commonly happens to athletes , factory workers and even teachers because these people are engaged in activities ending up pressure on foot arches resulting in wear and tear and resultant pain . But no need to worry , there are things like using arch supports ( orthotics) cushions in your shoes to give support to feet . Calf and feet splints can be applied to stretch them and massage on the planter side of foot with olive oil to bring the arch muscles in a position to adopt to wear and tear . use warm water to wash your feet and take periodic rests while working and waking and avoid excessive standing . I will not suggest to much medications because they have side effects , however you can sometime use Naproxen if have too much pain . Do see your primary to investigate it further when you come back . Hope I have answered your question . please feel free to ask any follow up questions if needed . Good luck .
