Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In The Left Leg When Diagnosed With Plantar Fasciitis

My legs and feet have been hurting for quite sometime. I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, and I am now wearing arch cushions in my shoes. My feet are not getting any better. My knees hurt. Today, I have getting a sharp pain in the side of my left leg (in the calf). The pain makes my leg buckle. The pain in my heels can be excruciating at times.
