I did not have surgey on my heel but below is information regarding this treatment option if you want to consider it.Surgical Treatments for Heel Pain

If nonsurgical medical treatments fail and pain persists, surgical intervention may be necessary.

Both surgical procedures described below are usually completed on an outpatient basis in less than one hour. They are performed comfortably under either local anesthesia or minimal sedation administered by trained personnel.

Removal of Connective Tissue (Fascia)

During surgery to separate all or a portion of the fascial tissue from the heel bone, the podiatric surgeon will make a small incision on the inside of the heel. Then, the tissue is carefully cut away . A few stitches will be required.

Bone Spur Removal

Heel spurs may be removed during the same operation for separating the connective tissue from the heel bone.

After the tissue has been detached, the podiatric surgeon will remove any spurs, leaving the heel bone smooth (see below).

Postoperative Care

Immediately after either operation, a plaster cast may or may not be used to support and immobilize the foot for two to three weeks. Crutches may be helpful for greater comfort and mobility while the foot heals.

When the cast has been removed, three to four weeks of physical therapy will speed healing and reduce swelling.

Provided there are no complications, recovery is usually complete in six to eight weeks.
