Dear Sir ,
You are suffering from plantar fasciitis. This is a very tricky condition . The only treatment in modern medicine is physiotherapy . Don't ever think of surgery . But you may try acupuncture . I have treated many patient's successfully with it. It is safe , painless, economical effective .
