PF SURGERY COMPLICATIONS 8 Replies
I had PF surgery seven weeks ago. They cut a portion of the facia because it was thick, removed a bone spur and did a calf release. I am wondering if anyone else has had problems with their calf muscles making a popping noise with excruciating…Continue

I too had the surgery 12/15.. 32 Replies
I had an open partial release done this past Thursday by who seems to be the best doctor for this in central Florida. The anaesthesiologist, who I met with briefly during pre-op, had even had the same surgery done by my doc, and he had no…Continue

So far it's been a breeze, all 6 hours since the surgery. I was taken into a prep roomm before the OR and got an IV and nerve block-and promptly fell asleep until I woke up in the recovery room casted and in no pain, feeling, actually, quite good. I…Continue

Hi! I've been struggling with my feet for awhile now (I have plantar fasciitis, bunions and issues with my achilles tendons) and my doctor has been advising me to get new shoes as well as custom orthotics. Apparently, the shoes I currently own are…Continue

I am about eight weeks post op. I went to PT yesterday and I have more movement in the surgical foot than my good foot so the calf release made a huge difference. My foot is still sore at the surgical incision. I am doing some…

Your incision looks pretty good. The incision on my calf is really good now but I still have a scab and raw skin on my foot. I went to PT yesterday. It is hard to learn how to walk again without limping. I am so worried about…

Yours is different from mine, angle wise too. How long was it? Mine was about 1.5". That purple ink took forever to get rid of on me too. They must've used permanent markers! My doctor signed his name/initials on my calf, near the correct…

...as long as we are comparing scars...
Compared to many I have seen, my incision looks quite small.

I'm glad to be of help to you! I know how miserable I was before the surgery and how much better my feet feel now. I do have other issues related to my knees-but my feet are so much better! I knew I needed to do something when my husband…

Wow in a tender spot!! You have helped me so much get positive about my procedures XX

I have now posted the picture. And reread my posts above and saw a ton of typos, lol/ YOu will see your incision when you get the stitches out. I got a sneak peek due to the wet cast. Having had major knee surgeries 3 times, and not as major knee…

Thanks guys for your comments. I would love to see my incision but can't had normal surgery (where they cut me open and prod around a bit etc not the endoscopic one). No cast just padding and bandage but.well padded on my heel. Think they cut…

Here is what my scar looks like almost 4 months (1 week to spare) after the surgery. Excuse the very dry skin:) As you can see, my arch is still in tact.
Caroline Hall replied to Peter Williams's discussion '15 Years living with PF - help please!'
Forgot to say that I hope you have as much success with the surgery as I have had.
David Michael Gardner replied to Peter Williams's discussion '15 Years living with PF - help please!'
Wish you a speedy recovery Peter but it takes time!! I took a non-invasive laser therapy route to cure my PF heel but it still took a year before I felt totally confident to load it up. Now I'm back into power walking each morning and…
Caroline Hall replied to Peter Williams's discussion '15 Years living with PF - help please!'
Hi Peter! I see you now have had the surgery! Was your procedure endoscopic or regular? Mine was endoscopic and the incision is sort of diagonal. Maybe I'll take a picture later and post it on my thread. Thank you for the…

I returned to work, wearing sneakers, two weeks after surgery. I suppose I could have gone in earlier with a walking boot, but am glad I did not (it was the holidays, so there was no rush..) Now 8 weeks out, and while I will say that my foot is not…
