How do I overcome plantar fasciitis if I want to join the military?

Of course fisky is correct to say that health professionals can be wrong. BUT David has a history (documented over years) of not listening to advice and ignoring advice that he didn't want to hear. He saw quite a few health professionals. What is more likely -- that David's health professionals were all wrong, or that David only took in 1/3 of what they told him and ignored the rest?

I want to be an infantry officer, but I can’t with my chronic plantar fasciitis. I had it since 2020 after trying to get into running when I had a sedentary background, and it never healed since. I have been through so many doctors and physical therapists, and no one helps. I tried steroid shots, calf raises, calf stretches, resting, icing, using toes to pick up marbles, night splints, and scraping the plantar fascia. Nothing works. I wish I was more careful when I first started to run because plantar fasciitis is so hard to treat, but it’s too late now. What do I do?

This is my most recent MRI results, if anyone is curious:

Impression
IMPRESSION:
Unremarkable MRI of the right forefoot. Visualized portions of the plantar fascia are unremarkable.

Narrative
EXAMINATION: MRI LOWER EXTREMITY RIGHT WITHOUT CONTRAST
DATE/TIME: 10/6/2025
HISTORY: chronic foot pain, plantar fascial tear; RIGHT FOREFOOT, R/O PLANTAR FASCIAL TEAR
COMPARISON: 12/20/2024
TECHNIQUE: Multiplanar multisequence MRI examination was performed without contrast.
FINDINGS:
The osseous structures are intact. There is no fracture or dislocation. Alignment of the visualized articulations is normal.
There is no interdigital neuroma. There is no significant intermetatarsal bursitis.
The plantar plates are normal.
The visualized portions of the plantar fascia are normal. The plantar musculature is normal.

Unremarkable means there is nothing abnormal identified. So are you good to go at this point?
