Surprised Cuts

Baloney..  I've dealt with plantar fasciitis, back when I played Semi-Pro ball, my wife currently deals with it intermittently.  For me, it just kind of went away.  For my wife, she has to go get painful cortisone injections into her heal. 

Every ailment affects each individual differently.  For you to just use your obviously mild case as an example, is pretty much blathering at best.  It's pretty obvious that you're not a medical professional, and likely just a part time gym rat at best.  So, please stop trying to minimize the severity of injuries to actual professional athletes.
