I have gotten alot of negative answers about the EPF surgery. The doctor told me this is my last option. I have had PF since I was 23. I am 25 now and I have tried everything. I have had about 6 cortisone shots, night splints, shoes, orthotics, ice, stretching, celebrex, taping and physical therapy. I have already been of work for 6 weeks. My job consists of standing for 10 1/2 to 11 1/2 hours a day. I just really don't know what else to do. Any suggestions of what helped your PF without surgery? I am supposed to have surgery Tuesday. The doctor said I have PF because my arches are really high. Let me know anything you might find to be helpful. I would like to hear some success stories and what to expect.

Thanks
