Plantar Fasciosis
Or chronic planter fasciitis, is what doctors are now calling my foot problem. I should say feet problem, because although my right foot hurts more, and swells more, my left from an x-ray view is worse. Since I have exhausted all conservative treatments, the last thing to try is an out patient minimally invasive surgery. I will have the right foot done first, then about 4 weeks later, I will have the left foot done. It's been a long morning, I spent an hour driving to Mesa to get a second opinion, then 2 hours in the doctor's office followed by an hour drive home.

Yikes. When will you ahve them done? and is this the one where you can't use the foot for weeks?
I hope to have both feet done over the summer, when there's less walking around to do and more time for my feet to heal so hopefully both will have successful turnouts. The nurse will call me tomorrow to let me know when we can get started.
This is a new procedure, that will have only 7 days of down time (using a boot thing, then in regular type shoes when i get the stitches out)
I'm very thankful for this new procedure, it has a better success rate than the old one, and I'd have to be immobile for weeks of recovery.
