Lisa replied to Cindy's discussion PF SURGERY COMPLICATIONS"I had surgery on my left foot last year and never had problems with my calf muscles. I honestly never heard of this before, but it sounds extremely painful. So sorry you have to deal with this."
andrew bayliss replied to Cindy's discussion PF SURGERY COMPLICATIONS"I have now gotten the advice from two DPMs to consider the "calf release." First more nerve testing. My case is one of arch pain that worsens during the day.
How is the calf release now??"
Cindy replied to Cindy's discussion PF SURGERY COMPLICATIONS"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…"
Cindy replied to T. D. Sharkey's discussion I too had the surgery 12/15.."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…"
andrew bayliss replied to Cindy's discussion PF SURGERY COMPLICATIONS"Cindy,
Thanks for the history and explanation. Good luck with it all, especially the calf, which must be disconcerting.
You answered my question, which is that the calf surgery was used for heel symptom PF, not just for the arch type that I seem to…"
Cindy replied to T. D. Sharkey's discussion I too had the surgery 12/15.."My surgery was on December 14th. Did you have the calf release surgery as well? My recovery seems to be taking forever. I was in surgery for two hours. I was in tennis shoes for about five days before my calf muscle…"

Cindy replied to Cindy's discussion PF SURGERY COMPLICATIONS"Attached are some pics of my incisions one week after surgery. First one is my calf...second is my foot."
Cindy replied to Cindy's discussion PF SURGERY COMPLICATIONS"My PF started a year ago this February. I started with night splints and stretches. Then physical therapy and custom-made inserts. The physical therapist told me my calf was tight. I tried taping the foot, too. I had a…"
andrew bayliss replied to Cindy's discussion PF SURGERY COMPLICATIONS"Hi Cindy,
Can you tell me the background about your calf release surgery. I am curious because that was a suggestion by one of my doctors, that the calf release might be the ultimate solution. I have arch area PF, not so much in the heel. I just…"
T. D. Sharkey replied to Cindy's discussion PF SURGERY COMPLICATIONS"Review her posts . She discussed it fairly extensively."
Cindy replied to Lisa's discussion Walking Cast"I did that too...had surgery anyway because the pain did not go away...buy my podiatrist said that it worked for a lot of her patients. I am about seven weeks post-op and happy with the surgery other that my calf muscle has popped twice…"
Cindy replied to Cindy's discussion PF SURGERY COMPLICATIONS"This is the second time my calf muscle has popped in this recovery - first time at 5 weeks, the dr. had me go to tennis shoes at 6 weeks post op and now it popped again at almost 7 weeks postop. Dr. put me in a walking cast again for a week…"
