Has anyone had any luck treating with something alternatively. My wife has been seeing a doctor for a long time iver this and it just gets worse. Thanks in advance for any wisdom. She has tried cbd with no luck.

I'm guessing...does your wife walk barefoot...or in socks...when at home? If so, this is what's causing the problem. Buy two or three "memory foam" slippers (not the thin foam things at WalMart -- they're about $25-$30 a pair), and rotate them to make them last longer. The soles on these slippers are terrible, unfortunately, and will self-destruct in a few weeks. Deerfoam is one brand, and Stafford another, but I'm sure there are other brands. I get the "clog" style that's easy to slip on and off.
Another tip to make them last longer, and smell better, is to put a Dr. Scholl's heavy-duty insole inside them, to keep your feet from wearing through the liner and foam.
I had bad PF on both feet, and this cured the problem for me.
An alternative is shoes that have good arch support like Alegria. Get a pair just for wearing around the house. They are a little over $100. A pair, but they last for literal years. I've had mine for 4 years and just had to replace the insoles ($30.). Now I will wear them for years more.
I didn't have PF, but a ruptured tibial tendon. I actually lost arch in that foot. I now only wear Alegria and Dansko XP (they have the arch support). I have used the Dr. Scholls inserts from that machine set up they have. Those helped a lot until things healed more.
