I know it doesn't help to hear this now bit your doc could have ordered a alternative stress test for ppl like you who can't run due to injury or in my case disability I've had two stress test done chemically and it's the same test no treadmill involved

Thanks, butterflywarrior, I wish I had thought the stress test through before doing it. It didn't occur it would exacerbate my foot issues but was concerned about my knee that has no acl. Lesson learned!

I had surgery on my foot for plantar fasciitis in 1995. 2 weeks in a walking boot and i've not had a problem since

Plantar fasciitis is the WORST. I have it badly in my right heel and moderate on the left. It sucks sooooo badly. I'm hoping the weight loss helps.

I've had plantar fasciitis a couple of times in the past, though this is different from the last times. I'm pretty sure I've been misdiagnosed this time. I'm going to look into the Rolfing and astym also. Thanks for the info. Although I know weight wasn't the only factor, after all I do work mostly on my feet, I'm hoping loosing will help.

Hi @@vegbeth,

I have P.F. too and I had to get a series of 3 cortisone shots to feel a difference.

Well folks thanks for supportive words. My foot is very slowly starting to feel better. Thanks in part to my finding a second doc who didn't send me home to wait 2-3 months for my custom orthotics to come in. He built up my current orthotics to provide better support and gave me a prescription for a anti inflammatory that my stomach can actually tolerate. Still in pain but I can feel it's getting better.

I wish you all well. I cannot imagine going through all this pain. Good luck!
