I have been sufffering from plantar fasciitis for three years now in both feet and can no longer stand this excruciating pain. I have run the gambit on therapies - excercises, stretching, analgesics, shoe inserts, and several courses of cortizone shots. Nothing has cured me. The cortizone shots help for approximately a month and then i'm back to hobbling around like a jerk. My walking window of opportunity is only about 2 hours before the pain sets in.

I've been to a wonderful doctor who is working with me every step of the way (pun intended :lol: ) and has suggested a new option called extracorporeal shock wave therapy that I am scheduled for in two weeks. I have researched this procedure and it sounds like it might do the trick. I was wondering if there is anyone out there who has already had this procedure and was willing to share their experience - good or bad? Any feedback would be wonderful! :) if you've had this procedure, what did you think?
