If you have plantar fasciitis, supplements are not likely to work for you.
This link has some very useful information with ice treatments, and stretches:

I had this many years ago (a spur was found in my heel too). But with proper shoe support and rest, and the salonpas patches on my heel, it did resolve on its own. I had it for 2 yrs before it finally quieted down. I still have the spur too.
If you did receive any fluoroquinolone antibiotic, these are known to damage tendons as well. The mechanism of this is not elucidated yet. But it is thought to be due to DNA damage.
