You can always reschedule the surgery later. But once you've had the surgery it can't be undone.

It sounds like all the standing you have to do at work could be the main cause of your feet feeling so bad. With all that standing, probably all the treatments wouldn't do much good because your feet can't rest at all.

I would consider looking into retraining at a community college perhaps for a job that doesn't require standing. I have had PF for 2 years, but my ability to work has not been impacted at all because I have a sit-down job. This makes the urgency less for major measures such as surgery. There are a lot of interesting careers out there and you're young.

The best of luck to you,
Susan
