[QUOTE="fatcpa, post: 2753884, member: 11311"] My wife, a now retired RN, had severe plantar fasciitis during the 80's. She tried every treatment known to man for a period of about 5 years without any long-term relief. She finally underwent a surgical procedure where the doctor made partial cuts in the plantar fascia ligament. This relieves the tightness in the tendon that causes the pain. After a month or so of recuperation she started back to work. I haven't heard one whimper from her in the 30 years since the surgery. The surgery is a last resort and most of the literature states that 95% or more of plantar fasciitis suffers are satisfied with non-surgical treatment. Good luck with your treatment. I know the pain wears on you. If you're so inclined, you can find several videos of the surgery on youtube. Looks like endoscopic surgery is the norm now. [/QUOTE]
