I had it for about 18 months...I know exactly what you mean. First, resist any type of surgical procedure...it will get better and go away.

The first steps in the morning were like broken glass. I kept two tennis balls at the foot of my bed and would roll them under my feet for about 3 - 5min each morning before taking my first steps...that really help break-up the scare tissue that formed overnight. I purchased some high-end inserts for all of my shoes that helped some.

I would soak and massage my feet 3 or 4 times per week and though I had to scale back from playing basketball or running I kept on walking short distances...painful at times but it really helped me to eventually punch through.

Keep stretching the feet and rolling things like tennis balls under your feet...the occasional Advil helps. Today I play basketball 3 - 5 times per week and it hasn't returned in over 4 years.

Best of Luck...Ouch!
