Plantar stretching is the fix.

What you've tried is understandable, but obviously not done the trick.
First, the Plantar Fascia will shorten over time and not be painful until it's late. Not to late though. The heel spur comes much later as a result of the extra tension on the calcaneous at the anchor point of the Plantar Fascia.
The fix will be aggressive stretching of the Plantar Fascia. this can be done with a "Pro Stretch" or by standing at the kitchen sink with doors open, placing your toes on the bottom shelf (about 3" from the floor), then stand straight legged until you feel the stretch.
You can PM me for better explanation. Dave.
