Personal journey with bilateral plantar fasciitis surgery
Full Range of Motion!
20Oct2008 Filed under: Recovery Author: Christina
I had my last physical therapy appointment today – unless by some miracle I get approved for more (I could use a few more visits). I received some good news though. 
I have full range of motion in my left foot, the foot that had surgery on August 12th. I was so happy to hear that! So that part of recovery has gone well. Now if all of the pain would just go away I’d be a very happy girl. 
Over the weekend I had repetitive sharp pains in the incision area. Hopefully that’s just part of the healing process.

About this blog
When I started thinking about having surgery for my plantar fasciitis I spent hours researching online. I could only find one personal experience with plantar fasciotomy and it hadn't been updated in a long time.
So I thought I'd chronicle my journey from beginning to end and post updates as time goes on as to how well the surgeries worked for me. I'll be having two - one surgery for each foot. I have bilateral plantar fasciitis.
I also created this blog so that my family, friends, associates and clients could easily check my progress and chat with me during recovery.
So if you're visiting this blog way after I've had surgery, I hope the information you find here helps. If you're one of my family members, friends, associates or clients, I hope you'll post lots of comments because your support will keep me going strong through post-op recovery.
Regardless of when you stop by, I'm glad you're here!

Hi Karen! I’m sorry for my very late reply. I was out of town at my sister’s. Keeping an eye on my 16 year-old nephew while she was in Cancun.
I feel for ya. Crutches ARE a pain. At the same time they sure are helpful. Are you walking on your foot yet? It’s been a couple of weeks since you posted so you may be. I hope you are doing well.
