That’s fantastic!!! So in my experience on another foot/ankle surgery. The 1st dr put me in a boot and no weight for 4 wks, well during that time, scar tissue built up fast due to not using it. 2nd operation new Dr, 3 hrs just to remove scar tissue! After he said walk and ankle circles all the time. Never had pain again. You have a great dr

I had open release surgery on 1/21. I walked out of the surgery center on my own with the assistance of my husband and a nurse. I came home in a bulky bandage and surgical shoe. My stitches are scheduled to be removed on 2/9. The first 3 days I walked from bed to bathroom and that was it. I have very little pain. I took one prescription pain pill the first day following surgery.. that was it. Pain has been pretty much nonexistent. Very little swelling or bruising. I am now walking still in my surgical shoe all through my house and earlier this week I was able to use the stairs with my husband watching me.

Surgery isn't a fix all. I had the open plantar fasciotomy on 12/16 and used a scooter to get around for about 4 weeks then I started full weight baring and I feel like I never had surgery. The neuropathy in my left foot where I had the surgery is worse. I've been using frankincense and prayer and that seems to help. I go back to work on 2/9 so I'm hoping the pain ceases so I can get back to normal life
