It almost is! Seriously - I had the procedure done on 8/14 and I have actually walked 4 times this past week and it doesn't hurt that bad. A little sore but I expected that. I see my doc on the 15th of this month to see if I can go back to regular activities. Every day gets better. No more shooting sharp pains in my heals, just a little tender/sore but nothing compared to before!
