Dr Kadwa Please help with remedy for plantar fasciitis and knee pain

Hello Doctor
Please advise on remedy for severe knee pain and plantar fasciitis in foot. I have tried steroid shots, but they have had no effect. I have been told to get a knee replacement, but I am trying to avoid surgery.

Knee pain has been for almost one year. Foot pain has just started within the past month. Steroid shots have not helped. Pain is so severe, and It is difficult for me to walk. Pain is relieved with ice. But starts again when I stand up and start walking.

Appreciate your help.
