What they did was go in through the side of my heal. They cut the plantar tendon half-way through & also cut off a bone spur. My doctor said they should only cut half-way through otherwise you won't have the proper support even after it re-attaches lower down & heals. If I do too much it aches, but no more pain. All I can say is give it a try. It worked for me. Good Luck
