Hi there, it is uncommon to have planter faciitis at such a young age. Also as you mentioned you had done all the mesures including steroid injections and since 5 year you are suffering which is quite uncommon because most of planter faciitis resolves by self without any treatment within couple of years. By considering all these it might be possible that couse of pain may be other rather than foot it self.

Heel pain is one of the most common foot problems. Often experienced under the heel or right behind it, it can sometimes affect the side of the heel as well. Heel pain can be moderate to severe and can cause difficulty depending on the intensity of the pain. Plantar fasciosis is a kind of heel pain stemming from the deterioration of the plantar fascia that occurs due to repetitive stress as well as chronic plantar fasciitis. This term is used for a non-inflamed stage of plantar fasciopathy.

If you have leg pain then you have to rule out the casues for having leg pain. First of all check your weight and your haemoglobin levels, as anaemia always leads to the symptoms of being tired and also having leg pain though there are no issues with the knee joint or back pain. If not if the pain radiates down the back of thigh and legs then it might be due to sciatica. Kindly consult the nearby physiotherapist. Hope you recover soon from the leg pain.
