"Congratulations!!
I too have been doing very well since I got my custom made orthotics about a month ago. They made all the difference in the world to me. I'm not back at the gym yet, but that's more of a scheduling issue than…"

Linda K replied to Kim's discussion 11 weeks post PF release surgery"Yep. I'm following up with the surgeon February 23. Last time I saw him (Sept) he said "Some people aren't glad they had the surgery until a year out." I was a bit taken aback by that. He never mentioned…"
Linda K replied to Kim's discussion 11 weeks post PF release surgery"Hi Kim. Glad to here your foot is doing great. Are you back to all normal level of activity? Are you running?"
Linda K replied to T. D. Sharkey's discussion I too had the surgery 12/15.."10 years give or take. "
Linda K replied to Rachel's discussion Why won't it go"I know how you feel. Facing pain on a daily basis sucks the life right out of you. Hang in there and try all conservative therapies."

Linda K replied to Monique's discussion I had PF Release Surgery 4 weeks ago."Yes, it may take up to 6 weeks to heal, give or take. Healing depends on you. Everyone is different. Whether or not you will be able to return to work is dependent upon many things...what do you do for a living, how bad is your…"

"Was the op a facia release or a spur reduction? And more importantly how long will it be until you know if it has worked?"
Linda K replied to Joy Fischer's discussion I can't see a doctor right now. Help!"Ice, stretching, massage, night splint, good supportive shoes. "
Linda K replied to Erin's discussion Had endoscopic release surgery on 8/5/11"Sounds like you are finally going in the right direction in your recovery. Did the POD show you how to massage the scar tissue to help with the break down? Perhaps one or two visits to physical therapy to show you the proper way to do…"

"Hi.
Yes, healing nicely. I still have a scab and it's tender, but I was told by my doctor's office that it's normal for where I am in the healing process.
Thanks for your comment.

Linda K replied to Monique's discussion I had PF Release Surgery 4 weeks ago."My surgery was July 8. I have a burning type pain around the incision site, but only after I've been on my feet for awhile. Once I start to feel that, I sit down and put my foot up. Another pain I have is on the top of my…"
Linda K replied to Monique's discussion I had PF Release Surgery 4 weeks ago."I had open surgery, I'm not completely healed and yes, I still have pain. However, it's not PF pain, it's healing pain and I will take this pain over PF pain any day.
My recovery is and will be slower and that's o.k with…"

First Day Back at Work
First day back at work. I've got my walking boot on, using one crutch for short distances. I'm exhausted, my foot feels a little swollen.

8 Days Post Op
Weaning off the pain meds, nearly completely. I'm taking one at night because by the end of the day my foot is quite sore and swollen. If I don't take one at night, I wake up in the middle of the night with a terrible ache and can't get back to sleep.
I spend the majority of my days sitting with my foot elevated. I only get up to go to the bathroom, get something to eat, shower, change clothes, etc.
It's hard to sit still when there is so much that needs to be done around…

At last - a little hope
Today is the first day I've felt hopeful in a loooong time. I can hardly wait to get back to my regular activities. I know that healing is just as important as having the procedure and I need not to rush things, but I'm anxious to get back to the gym. I'm already picturing spinning, step and kick boxing!! I know, I know, first I have to walk, then get back to my favorite activities. It's just hard to contain my excitement. I haven't felt positive in such a long time.

PF Release Surgery 7/8
Hi.
I had my Plantar Fasciits Release Surgery yesterday, 7/8.
After the surgeon re-examined me in the morning he decided he did not have to cut into my calf muscle. I'm thankful for that. He released the fascia and severed the nerve. I'm not having any pain thanks to the pain medication, just sleeping a heck of alot and feeling "foggy", which I don't like.
I'm finding that using crutches is tiring, even just to go to the bathroom. I'm to be completely non-weight…
