OT - Plantar Fasciitis

Yeah, really off topic, but...
Have any of you experienced this problem? If so, what did you find was the best treatment? Did you purchase any type of hardware - insole - healpad? There's so much on the internet that is "guaranteed" that I have my doubts. Can't afford to waste money. I don't want to see a doctor about it if I don't have to.
I've been dealing with this for over a year now and only recently discovered what it was. Some mornings I can barely walk until I get going for awhile. Or if I watch TV for a bit then try to get up to go to the kitchen, ow, ow, ow. Once I'm moving along I'm pretty much ok though.
I found some exercises I'll try, but wondered if anything purchasable would speed the healing. 

Thanks for anything you can offer.
