David Michael Gardner replied to Peter Williams's discussion 15 Years living with PF - help please!"Peter - you should not be having any trouble in getting an appointment with your GP!! Just tell them it's an emergency situation and insist on a same day appointment without which you will refer the surgery to the regional health board!! If you…"

David Michael Gardner replied to Peter Williams's discussion 15 Years living with PF - help please!"Peter, I've been following your discourse with Caroline who has clearly been in a lot of pain and went for the PF release operation; wish her a swift recovery and some return to a normal life style. Your PF seems to have been with you for a…"
David Michael Gardner replied to Peter Williams's discussion 15 Years living with PF - help please!"You're right about the ESWT and the ASTYM if you have a bruising issue, it would be too invasive for your skin. However, laser should not aggravate your condition, though a specialist opinion would be best. And the magneto therapy would…"

David Michael Gardner replied to Monique's discussion I had PF Release Surgery 4 weeks ago."Hi Carmen ! I'm still doing my early morning 6 km walks with no pain (but there's still something going on down there). It's like a lump and there is still some numbness of the heel at that point. My physio lady wouldn't send me…"
