Plantar Fasciitis and Heel Spur
I have been diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis in my legs and also recently doctor has discovered a heel spur in my left leg. The problem is that I am currently in Germany and here doctor has suggested me laser therapy or surgery as last option. My question is that do I really need to go for any of this? Is there any way I can support myself with exercises and when I am back in India, I can go for treatment. Please guide me through, I am in lot of pain.

Need to find the cause for developing plantar fasciitis and spur- Diabetes, Increased uric acid, Rheumatoid or others
90% resolves better with medical treatment and try to avoid surgery
Next Steps
Steroid injection and PRP injection will be best option other than surgery. It will give you better results

Definitely plantar fascia and tendoachilles stretching exercises will help you a lot...it takes atleast 6 weeks to get the results out of that ..your footwear also does matter...Heel spur is not the indication for Surgery always
