I am looking for unusual, outside the box causes for foot pain since I have been treated for all of the usual pain causes and still have a painful quality of life. I would like to be a be to walk without pain.

I have had physical therapy twice. Once before trying sugery for plantar fasciitis and once after. I have tried pain patches, expensive arch supports and Dr School's, ointments, hot and cold treatments cortisone shot. I bought a cane and a walker so I can get around a little. I have arthritis and spinal stenosis, and a "c" curvature in my spine. I went to a foot doctor for my foot problems, but am wondering if I am way off track. This condition starting coming on about three years ago and has only gotten worse. I also have hip joint pain as well - which I had before the foot pain began. With the hip pain, I could always give it a rest and then resume my activity. Not so with the foot pain. I use to like to take care of my home, walk, garden. Not so now.
