Not broken, torn or ruptued Plantar fascitus

Well, I went to the doctor and she said I have a torn Plantar Fascitus.
She told me to use crutches for 3 days to keep the weight of it.
But considering the pain I am in, and the swelling.
I wonder if this is even going to help.
I keep reading about other people in the same condition that use walking casts.
I will try it for 3 days, then I will go to someone that specializes in this type of injury.
Do you feel that my injury can be healed just with crutches.
And how did dropping somthing heavy(60 lbs) on top of my foot, cause the injury on the bottom?

    Without examining your foot I can’t be certain, but my initial thought is a plantar fibroma. These are common. I do recommend you see a podiatrist for further evaluation.
