Hello from JA

Great question here.

There are no medications that are going to cure this condition.

And anti-inflammatory are the indicated medicine.

You can try a newer NSAID that has less effect on the stomach.
These are called cox 2 inhibitors.

What stands out in your description is the lack of therapy..physical therapy that is...braces and orthotics are great but might not relieve other stresses on the feet from say a strain in the lower spine, knees, etc.

The doctor that can assess this correctly is a physical medicine and rehabilitation doctor, a type of MD. This will get a full body structural diagnosis and input into what other physical therapies you might needed.

In rare cases surgery is needed but I have never had a patient have to do this.

Let me know if you have further questions.
