Just diagnosed with PF

I just went to a podiatrist 8/3/98 after 2 - 3 months of heel pain.
I could hardly walk in the mornings or after sitting for a time. He
told me what the diagnosis probably was, took x-rays, gave me a
steroid/anti-inflammatory shot and told me what could be done for PF.
I went back today, I have a heel spur on my right foot but that is not the foot with extreme pain. I got relief for about 1 1/2 days then the pain came back. I just started walking about 3 months ago. I was
pretty much sedentary. He did not suggest any more shots for which I am glad, because it hurt. But he did suggest EPF. He wants me to make a decision on the surgery and get back to him.

I don't know what I should do. Reading this bulletin board and this
web page have made me more indecisive.

Hope someone can give me some insight.
