I've had plantar fasciitis for two years. I've been in physical therapy for 8 weeks and I haven't seen any improvement. Anyone here have plantar fasciitis for long periods of time? If so, did it ever go away? Has there been cases of chronic plantar fasciitis? If so, how did you get rid of yours?

Please, don't give me advice on how to treat it, I know just about every trick in the book from rigorous stretching, ultrasound, electro-shock, prescription orthotics, ice coke bottle, golf ball, night splint, ice therapy, taking time off from activities, heel cups, steroid patches, oral medication (all of these under supervision of qualified podiatrist and physcial therapist).

Only two things I haven't tried yet is cortisone injection and surgery. Does cortisone injection help heal it or is it just temporary relief?


I'm planning on going into military service so I need to get this fixed within the year.
