I have been suffering from chronic heel pain for 14 years. I am a healthy 30 year old woman and I don't know what to do. I have had shockwave treatment, cortisone injections, orthotics taping, NSAIDS, a fasciotomy and tarsal tunnel release. I have spent a lot of time and money in trying to get my foot pain under control and nothing is working. I do not have heel pain when I first get up in the morning. I feel great. My job consists of me standing for 12 hour shifts and the pain begins in my heel after 1-2 hours of standing. It is a terrible aching, throbbing pain. My job is very important to me and I do not want to lose it due to my pain. Please anyone who might have any suggestions please help me. This is a horrible economy and I will never find another good job like this in my area. I am 5'8" and I weigh 180 lbs, but my doctor says this has nothing to do with my heel pain. There are other women I work with who weigh more than me and they have no heel pain whatsoever. I was at first diagnosed with plantar fasciitis even though I didnt have the classic symptoms. I had a fasciotomy and fasciectomy in my right heel and its still feels the same as my left heel. Then I had an NCV EMG and it turned out I had pinched nerves in both ankles. So I had a tarsal tunnel release in my right foot. It has been 3 months since the release and am back to work but the pain is still the same. Nothing has helped. If anyone knows of what could be wrong please give me any suggestions or advise. It will be greatly appreciated. I have also been on lyrica, cymbalta, and high doses of NSAIDS and so far nothing has even made a tiny difference.
