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?

I don't recommend joining the US millitary because it's not really defense. It's just to grab resources from other countries and give it to corporations and billionaires, and they would not value your life.
But to overcome plantar fasciitis I recommend a shoe with a plastic plate or plastic rods and a continuous outsole (no gap underneath the shank). And no gel cushion because it has shear movement.

Whole buffalo collagen is the way to go.

if you can't make it through army training with PF then you would not survive the army.
on long marches it's common to march until your feet bleed. If you can't deal with PF you will struggle as a soldier and never get any respect as an officer.

You really have no idea what you’re talking about concerning the military. You’re taking something really complex - American grand strategy - and reducing it to a few glib sentences. But that sure sounds great for a bumper sticker!

People do those marches when they are healthy. If you already have chronic feet pain, you have no chance

Trolling 101: Always accuse your victims of trolling. Great stuff!
I am also loving the military angle. Your threads were getting boring, but I respect your latest burst of creativity.

Just join the infantry. Once you step on a landmine your plantar fasciitis is over.

It's a bad injury but not the worst.

Good inserts, I recommend Aetrex. GOAT. I see my chosen brand of socks, Feetures, have planter fasciitis socks now. Worth a try! Don't listen to post #2, I'm sure he's fine with sitting back and enjoying the freedoms provided by the men and women in our military, both present and past without doing anything. Join the greatest fighting force the world has ever seen. In related news, oh no Muh billionaires. Noooooooo!
