The most important point of your post s the fact that you are taking 1600-3200mg of IBU daily.

1. Your body can only absorb so much IBU (2400mg) in a 24 hour period
2. By doing this for long periods of time, you place yourself at SIGNIFICANT risk for a GI Bleed. Believe me, I know.

As far as your foot goes, it was injured. It was injured in a bad place that doesn't get much of a "rest" unless you are in a wheelchair and you may need to consider changing your activities and future plans secondary to your injury and chronic pain.

Lastly, your case does not sound primarily like "Plantar Fasciitis" as much as it does (as your podiatrist mentioned) a metatarsal arthritis with an associated fasciitis.
Welcome to the world of chronic, activity dependent, pain.

Understand also, that any weights you lift transfers that energy to the platform you are lifting it on...in this case your feet. Your , no longer perfect, feet.

If you need to wrap your feet with tape to meet mission, by all means do so. The tape does take some of the responsibility for supporting structures from the natural formation of the foot (or ankle / wrist / elbow / digit / whatever body part is taped). In the realm of sports medicine this is designed to be an activity specific (i.e. TEMPORARY) utilization of additional support mechanisms to prevent injury in the event of extreme stressors OR to assist in support of an injured area.
