Hi OP so sorry to hear about your condition that you are currently struggling with. Would it be possible for you to undergo some type of surgery? How about Coblation surgery of some sort? You can also try the extracorporeal surgery or the use of acoustic shock waves. I am not sure if you have also tried physical treatments such as heel and foot stretching exercises or applying ice or ice-heat-ice but if you haven't these are some of the alternative treatments you can try to relieve your condition.

ugh, that sucks

I had it for a while and the main thing that helped me was a good pair of orthotic shoe inserts from a reputable podiatrist.
Be careful as I find a lot of podiatrists are kind of shady for some reason.
Repeated electric therapy or whatever is often a scam. It did nothing for me.

Also, stretching. Find a really good physical therapist who can help you learn some techniques that could help.

#1 thing is I can never ever walk barefoot. I have a pair of birkenstocks to wear at home. I wear super supportive shoes with my orthotics whenever I go out. If I give in to the temptation to wear sandals or some dressy shoes outside the house I am cursing after a half hour of walking.

When it kicks in it's literally like a knife in my arch/heel. If the pain is going up into your ankles then you really need to get to a reputable podiatrist.

Also, if you are heavy then losing weight can help but that is not easy :/
