I have been fighting this plantar fascitis for 2 years. Not once during this time did my Podiatrist mention anything about : icing, accupuncture, taping, night splints, or stretching!!!!!!!
I heard about the ultrasound and asked him about it and he said "that is only for people who have no fat pads on their heels, like old people".
I kept on and on begging him to try it on and on for months, and I finally got on his nerves so bad that he said, "ok". Of course it didn't help.
All he did during these two years is give me shots, and got me orthotics. The orthotics didn't work because I kept getting the pain and going back for shots.
Does anyone think he is neglegent???
I know it sounds like I should have went to another Dr., but he is the only one in my town. I would just get the shots and they would help for awhile and I would come back for more shots.
Several times I asked him if there was anything else that could be done, and he always said, " we have got to keep on with the shots to get the inflamation out "
