What Are The Symptoms Of Plantar Fasciitis And Heel Spur?

I m a 57 year young female. But the past 6 mo. I feel old in my feet. I think I have plantar fasciitis and heel spur. I m treating it with home remedies with a hard spiked ball for massage, orthotic inserts, stretching and better shoes, I.e., New Balance, Algreia and Earth Brand shoes. My feet seem to get better at times, but I think the change in shoes is causing some discomfort too. My first pair of New Balance were too tight. I wore them most of the day yesterday. The feet were so achy this morning and even throughout the day. I have a desk job, but a few times today when I got up to walk, My feet were so stiff and sore. I feel like I m old, achy and stiff and slow! I m just wondering if there could be something else going on. I m scheduled for a physical on 12/14.
