My symptoms are different from yours--my feet tingled (no pain) for all of 1997. Then in Jan. 1998 I developed heel pain and was told I had PF. However, orthotics and Birks hurt my arches so much that I can only wear them for a few hours. I still have the tingling if I am on my feet too much. My left foot is the bad one--the right foot isn't too bad. I have pain below my heel bone and today the pain is going up my leg--I don't get the pain up my leg too often--hopefully it will ease up soon as it has in the past. I also often have pain in the ball of my left foot. Usually all the pain stops when I sit down, but today the pain up my leg doesn't seem to want to stop.
As I said in the previous post, the nerve conduction test isn't bad. The EMG is a little worse because they put little needles in your feet. Hopefully your doc will be more friendly than mine was and tell you how many times he is going to stick you--knowing that would have helped me.
Good luck and do keep us posted.
