T. D. Sharkey replied to AF 29's discussion Surgical shoe vs. The Boot"Asking AF, thanks for your reply previously. I am just trying to get an idea what others have gone through post surgery to see whether what I am feeling is "normal.""
Caroline Hall replied to AF 29's discussion Surgical shoe vs. The Boot"Not sure who you're asking, but I've mentioned elsewhere I had it briefly. ALl gone now, 13 weeks I think since surgery."
T. D. Sharkey replied to AF 29's discussion Surgical shoe vs. The Boot"Did you have any lateral column pain (pain on the outside edge of the foot)? If so, did it resolve?"
Caroline Hall replied to AF 29's discussion Surgical shoe vs. The Boot"I had the surgical release in mid-October and on the operating table, got a cast-I woke up with it on. It was a walking cast that I used for 11 days (with getting a new one in the middle because I managed to get it wet). I have had no issues. Before…"

To give you a little bit of history…. Have been dealing with PF for about 2yrs now. Did all of the pre-surgical stuff to get it to stop hurting (PT, ultrasound, injections, inserts, etc) before I had surgery on my right foot last August. Have loved my results. I’ve been dealing with some foot structure issues… due to overcompensation I’ve developed arthritis in my big toe joint. Currently being treated with Voltaren to alleviate the pain. It works, I will give it that. I had problems too…See More
Doggymama replied to AF 29's discussion In a predicament... (xpost)"I am glad you are getting a second opinion. You are having a lot of problems and nothing seems to work. I certainly would not keep getting surgery just because a doctor wants you to. The old adage is right. Surgeons love to cut. I would tell your…"
AF 29 replied to Joy Fischer's discussion I can't see a doctor right now. Help!"Sorry to hear you are having problems....
I would stretch, rest and ice - when you are sitting down use a frozen 20oz coke/soda bottle to roll around under your foot.
But stretching when you can is gonna help until you can get back into the…"

Had PF release surgery in June... having pain in forefoot by toes... Well, went to the orthopaedic surgeon yesterday.... spoke with her PA instead of the actual surgeon lol.... seems that I may have whats called MTP Synovitis. Its where the ligaments and tendons that connect your toes get stretched from over compensation and/or swelling. My toe next to my big toe on my right foot kind of has a mind of its own and does not lay flat. They did weight bearing xrays and it also shows my foot…See More

AF 29 replied to Monique's discussion I had PF Release Surgery 4 weeks ago."Linda - sounds like you might have a neuroma on your pinky toe side. What you decribed is exactly what my Pod said part of the symptoms are. Its a bunch of nerves compressed from overcompensating when walking.

AF 29 replied to Monique's discussion I had PF Release Surgery 4 weeks ago."I understand how you feel sometimes. My foot is swollen right now, so much that its hard to get a shoe on because of the manipulation i have to do to get my foot in. Chin up Carmen! Unfortunately i had to swallow a big pill and realize that the pain…"
AF 29 replied to Monique's discussion I had PF Release Surgery 4 weeks ago."I was thinking the same thing Linda...
Well, went to the Pod yesterday.... got my MRI results... nothing fractured that he can tell... but there is swelling between my bones and I have a cyst like structure of nerves between my big toe and…"

AF 29 replied to Monique's discussion I had PF Release Surgery 4 weeks ago."Hi Carmen!
