I was officially diagnosed with this, too, on Tuesday. He gave me a script for orthotics....but he said give the exercises a few weeks before I spend the money. My husband has foot problems (thankfully surgically repaired in March, and he is pain free now..) Anyway, he went through his share of orthotics, and I'm just not ready to deal out 300-400 dollars right now.....He also gave me some heel cups to put in my shoes...I thought it was actually feeling better until I walked around Walmart tonight....not so much! I'll keep doing the exercises, and I need to go and get me a new pair of shoes. Good luck to everyone who has this nuisance.
