Yup, it is plantar fascitis. I also have it from working on my feet for 8.5+ hour shifts. It is not something fun to live with. Take ibuprofen around the clock. Every 6-8 hours keep dosing yourself on it if it is agreeable with your doctor. I like to soak my feet in a warm bath at night after work. That seems to help it a bit also. What I notice really helps is filling up a water bottle with water and putting it in the freezer. Then when I am at the computer desk, I put a towel between the bottle and my feet and roll the bottom of my feet with the ice. You have to keep plucking away at plantar fascitis for it to get better. Your doc may also suggest braces and such when sleeping. Good luck and I hope you feel better.
