Hello Gmom,

Welcome to the EmpowHER community. Thank you for reaching out to our community with your health issue. You have certainly seen many healthcare providers and had diagnostic testing. I don't know if I can offer much.

But, did find this information on the website of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, and wanted to share it with you.
"Although many people with plantar fasciitis have heel spurs, spurs are not the cause of plantar fasciitis pain. One out of 10 people has heel spurs, but only 1 out of 20 people (5%) with heel spurs has foot pain. Because the spur is not the cause of plantar fasciitis, the pain can be treated without removing the spur."

Regards,
Maryann
