Dear C.J.
For some great information on PF and what to do go to this site: http://heelspurs.com/_intro.html
I don't want to sound too discouraging but it may be true that your doctor feels you haven't given it enough time. If it is indeed PF that you have it usually lasts from 6 months to 1 year. I've had it for 2 1/2 years now. I know that for the first year I could barely put my feet on the ground and was living mainly from 'chair to chair'. Complete rest is the best remedy but very frustrating and near impossible. It would be best to go to a physiotherapist for advice rather than your doctor ... a physio can try, ice, massage, ultrasound, taping and give you lots of info. on how to handle it. Have you seen a podiatrist? Have you had orthodics made etc.?
I hope your PF leaves soon and that you are able to find someone to give you some good advice. Reading the whole message board can be most beneficial. Best of luck. Rhonda
