@jenniferhunter Dr Kumar was who suggested planter fasciitis in neurology. Yes, I’ve asked the question about sitting or standing mri to all 3 and it was shrugged off. No other imaging offered. I spent a lot of time discussing what I was experiencing, and asking questions. Still don’t have anyone offering an answer to if I continue to wait it out, will permanent damage occur. No one will say.
Yes on PT, for over 3 months now. They couldn’t believe Mayo (of all places) suggested not doing anything or that it could be planter fasciitis, and really haven’t given me any indication of what it could be.
I just don’t know why they even offered to see me in the first place when they had my imagining etc and didn’t see anything. Could have saved me weeks, travel and hotel by just saying so if they are only going to go off of mri and it’s not enough for them to offer anything. Beyond disappointing.

@jorgy20, this sounds like a situation that should be shared with Mayo Clinic's Office of Patient Experience. I encourage you to contact them.
