Sorry to hear of your pain. I 'feel your pain' - I had Plantar - out of the blue years ago. Believe it occurred after years of softball and not stretching well. Talk about pain - the typical Plantar pain when standing up and stretching the tendon. yikes. I went to a Podiatrist in Leesburg and after several visits he did the cortisone shot in the heel. As yucky as that sounds (I hate shots) it wasn't all that bad. After 3 treatments in 10 days, the 3rd did the trick - no pain after a week.
Well, it came back a year or so later, and had 2 more shots. That was 5 years ago - and zip since. No softball or running, but happy to rid of that pain.
Wish you the best and that your Dr does the trick.
