Just found your thread as I have not visited lately. Thanks for posting. We all have had similar journeys. I wish I would have better documetation of mine. After at least 4 years I have found few answers but thank God my pain has been minamal. The discomfort and the constant search for the right footwear has been the biggest irritation. I think orthotics has been the best thing I've done. sounds like you have done all the right stuff. I would just caution you not to do any radical unproven proceedures without checking in here first. Keep up the good work.
