Surgery for a heel spur?

Have you had surgery for a heel spur?
My heel pin has been natural life changing; in a bad path.
An X-ray revealed a heel spur caused by (or caused?) plantar fasciitis.
The podiatrist gave me shoe inserts to pocket the pressure off of the heel with high arch support. He also give me a prescription for NSAIDS.
I want a cure!
Have you had surgery or another treatment that rid you of your heel spur permanently? What was it close to? What were the cost to you and the results?
Thanks for answering!

Answers:    I have used resting night splints beside great success on many of my patients with plantar fasciitis. It works best for those who enjoy sharp heel pain in the morning or after standing up from sitting for a while

I have also see stubborn cases of plantar fasciitis respond to special taping techniques and other forms of treatment offered by physical therapy.

Have your doctor distribute you to a physical therapist, there is a lot they can do for you including rub, therapeutic ultrasound, anti inflammatory patches, exercises, ice posture/positioning, splinting, prevention etc.

Performing a simple plantar fascia stretch several times a daytime, icing and using a plantar fasciitis resting night splint (can be purchased at most medical supply stores) may do the job.

70 percent of the plantar fasciitis cases have some heel spurs and I own seen many cases resolve, Therefore the spurs themselves are not always the source of the stomach-ache.

good luck
