severs disease/bursitis

I have had heel pain in my feet for a couple of years…. I have had mri’s, x rays, and been to many doctors.
The doctors are not sure what it is that I have… I have been wearing my orthodics and it seems to help but it still hurts…. I need suggestions on how to treat it… I stretch and it hurts more…all of the doctors say to stretch the calf muscle but it makes it strain the back of the heal and it hurts when I walk after stretching…. I don’t know what to do

    : I have swollen knee that is very painful. The knot is about the size of a tennis ball. I have been to three doctors. One drained some of the fliud off and injected it with steroids. It helped for a little while, but within two weeks the swelling was back. A surgeon said that I needed to have surgery to remove the bursi and I wonder if I could have other treatments before I must have surgery. I am a farmer and I can’t be away from my job for six weeks or so. Is there any treatment that can help me without surgery?
