I'mm looking for suggestions on dealing with this. I have been seeing a well known poditrist for the last 4 months or so. Along with the plantar fasciitis, I also have a bone spur that has developed. The Dr. has tried orthotics twice with no results. The second set which I picked up last week are even worse than the first. I understand that there is a break in time frame with them, but I can't literally stand with them for more than a few minutes due to the pain. He also wants to give me a cortizone shot, which I keep telling him no on.(I have had 3 cortizone injections in my life, and NONE of them did anything).
Other than doing the stretches (which I do daily) and the PT that he prescibed (which I have not started yet) does anyone have any suggestions? I'm at my wit's end with this. I'm going to talk to my primary doctor and get a recommendation for a different podiatrist or othopedist, other than that, I don't know what to try.
