Are there any negatives to having cryosurgery for plantar fasciitis?

Yes.: Any surgical procedure has potential complications. Make sure that you have exhausted all conservative options before electing to undergo surgery. One of therapy that many overlook before considering surgery is radial shock wave therapy. It is non-invasive, has almost no complications and is highly effective. www.orthodoc.aaos.org/footankle.

Yes: The only negative is non-reduction of pain. This is rare. I have performed this procedure for over 5 years with great success when other therapy fails.
