"I have not heard of this but I had a treatment injection that was supposed to kill the nerve in my foot.  Instead I got serious staff infection and had to have emergency surgery to save my foot.   I had ESWT.  It did not work for…"

"Yes I've had this done it does work I've had 2 treatments and it gives me 9 months of no pain then u go again it is good"

"I saw another illustration for this and someone there made detailed observations of the inaccuracies of some of these illustrations. This one though seemed to correct one of those: The location of the formation of the heel spurs. Though the…"

"Very well observed Kay Warren. Misinformation like this can also cause faulty management. Probably they should have gotten another illustration for this. Netter illustrations are my favorite."

"I have had two years of plantar fasciitis pain and I went through a lot of the same tings you went thorough if was even hard for me to narrow down exactly what caused my PF. I have a blog that you should really have a look at. It explains what…"
