I am 11 days out from bunion surgery correction along with a gastroc slide and osteotomy on first & second toe. I have been elevating and icing as much as I can throughout the day. Off the narcotics, but using Tylenol for pain relief as needed. When seated for a few minutes the foot starts to tingle, then feels heavy & then feels like it is in a vise. Once this happens it is hard to reverse. I have learned to NOT ignore the tingling & to elevate as soon as I feel it coming on. Just curious for about how long these type of sensations might last? I know healing is different for everyone and we each have variations on surgery, but I wasn’t expecting to have such a problem with sitting up for more 15 minutes at this point or are my expectations just way off !

Lasts for weeks until I was actually moving around more ( 6/7 weeks ) feeling each time I put my foot down , completely normal but a weird sensation for sure . Blood rushing back down to your foot ..and nerves waking up

Did hoka shoes help or make your plantar fasciitis worse

I tried EVERYTHING to heal my plantar fasciitis. I stopped all exercise on it, I had shockwave therapy, I had cortisone injections, I did taping, I had custom insoles, I had smart feet insoles, I had physical therapy, I did the ibuprofen and the icing and the stretching... Then I bought HOKA and started wearing them exclusively and started walking a mile a day and my plantar fasciitis went away. I won't wear any other brand of shoe for the fear of getting plantar fasciitis back I suffered with it for 3 years before it finally went away with the HOKA.

My podiatrist said my Hokas were too soft and may have been part of the reason I got PF! He recommended Brooks and Vionics.
