Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
HI THERE ;
FIRST OF ALL : we need to make the right diagnosis ...
is the pain mainly after you relaxed then you start to walk around, the first 2-5 steps are painful then the pain get subsides and does not go totally. If this shooting pain in the heel ?

If both answers are yes, then start stretching your plantar facia, my advice to avoid injection
