Have you tried rubbing in some Aspercreme Lidocaine on the area, including the Achille's tendon?

I have a worry for you... Cipro disrupts tendons and can lead to ruptures over time. The tendon issues can show up months into years after use of this drug and is cousins (fluoroquinolones).I hope this is NOT a cause for your pain.
I recall at one time you did use Cipro.

I had this many years ago when I was working midnights.
It was in both feet...so I understand how painful this is.

This website I think is the most complete and best one for information about foot issues:

Heel Pain & Plantar Fasciitis :: Diagnosis and Treatment Information

If you have any Morton's epsom lotion left (since it was discontinued) I'd apply that to the area
twice a day. The magnesium will enter the skin and block pain signals from the NMDA receptors which are pain signalers.
