Heel Pain/ Plantar Fascia

[Stearns]

I am currently being treated for heel pain. I have been to my family doctor, a podiatrist, and now am seeing an orthopedic surgeon. I have a condition called plantar fascia. I have had ultrasound, Cortizon shots, done exercises, and wear a night brace. The only thing left is surgery. Has anyone else had this problem and what did you do to eliminate the pain? I am looking forward to the fall basketball season but am
concerned about the persistant pain in my heel. I have been in pain since spring.
