I've tried cutting back on the Amitriptyline but going below 30mg the pain is excruciating. I'll look into comfrey. It sounds promising.

Sounds like you're being more sensible than I gave you credit for, so my apologies, but I once had to stop exercise completely for a full year because of fasciitis. Some conditions just defy convention like that, but in my experience, what triggers this shit hitting the fan scenario is an initial reluctance to do what the injury demands. Reinjury is a critical mistake and recovery times can increase exponentially under these conditions.

One thing I strongly recommend you try and commit to fully, is Chinese acupuncture. The traditional Chinese medical model is based on completely different principles to western medicine and often yields results where western methods fail. It has at its core that every physical dysfunction has a psychological counterpart, which correlates very well with the idea of consciousness being the ground of all being in quantum theory. I was genuinely shocked at how my mind responded to acupuncture and at the time I made large jumps in awareness and good progress with my demons, I went in for treatment for hip fasciitis, but came out not only able to run again but a better person. If you don't get a response in 8 sessions it's not working.
