What did your doc tell you when they diagnosed you?
Doctor gave much of the same advice given here by folks that had it. But prescribed having a custom-made insert for shoes to support my arch. Also avoiding my favorite activities like running and cycling. Which is my biggest concern.
Luckily, it appears from other's experience that it won't last long with proper care.
