I have planter fasciitis in my foot it's absolute murder at times the doctor says it's needs plenty of rest how can you rest in this job
Request a referral to health partners for it.
It does go away after 1 year, a change of footwear can often help. If you adjust your walking differently to help with the pain, the pain moves somewhere else like calves etc.

Its an occupational injury and anyone suffering should ask for a referral.
