Foot Problems

Ever since I twisted my left foot in May, I have been dealing with residual pain that was sparked from the injury.  The pain is in my arch.  I had similar pain with my right arch, but in 2003, I had an operation to remove a bone and reattach my ligament to alleviate the pain.  I was going to see an orthopedic surgeon for help with this pain in my left arch.  He was the one that helped me after the sprain in May.  He sent me for physical therapy sessions.  I have been to 2 sessions so far with not improvement.  I will be going to a podiatrist tomorrow for his opinion.  The pain is constant and is even present when I am not on my foot.  I already have custom-made arch supports, so that is not the problem.  I am dreading another 6-week recovery if surgery is the only option.  I just want this fixed once and for all.
