Not an option. My PF tendon is too short and under too much strain, that is why I grew heel spurs pointed straight toward the toe, the bodies attempt to shorten the distance the tendon has to stretch and take the strain off. That worked for apparently many years, until it just couldn't take the strain anymore. Surgery to remove the heel spur would leave the tendon with nothing to attach to, instant and permanent wheelchair just like a paraplegic. Surgery to thin the tendon to allow it to stretch more would leave it extremely vulnerable to snapping under the strain of walking, again, instant and permanent wheelchair.
