You have no idea how much you have helped me just by sharing your journey with your surgeries. I was injured in 1996 in the military, both of my arches fell. I have recently been dealing with excruciating pain from plantar faciitis due to my injuries. I will be having my first of two surgeries on October 19th. I have been very nervous because I really had no idea what to expect other than what I had been told by my doctor. To hear it from someone who has actually "survived" and to hear that there is hope that soemthing can be done with this pain is inspiring. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Dear Chirstina,

Congrat on all your success. I am 30 years old, and had a open partial plantar fascia release on May 22,2009. Left foot. I have the stitches out and the cast is off and am not due to see my doctor until July 9th. I am still using crutches to get around. But lately I've been having pain at the base of my 2nd,3rd,4th and 5th toes, on the top of my foot. It feels like a dull pain. Did you feel anything like this yourself? I think its at the joints. My incision has pretty much healed itself. And I have little pain around it. I don't know where this new pain is coming from. I'm thinking maybe I need to increase my exercises or flex the muscles in my toes more. What do you think? Hi there,

If you read some of the comments on this blog from others who have had the surgery some of their recovery times are pretty quick whereas mine has not been. I definitely recommend waiting at least three months between surgeries so the first foot has time to heal up. It may not be completely healed, but at least it will have strength back. For me it's not only my feet that need to regain strength, but my legs as well. I used the crutches about three weeks and the boot for about two. It seems like so long ago! My first surgery was in August 2008 and the second November 2008. This past week is when I'm finally really seeing the light at the end of the recovery tunnel. :) Recovery has been a roller coaster for me and at times I questioned if I should have had the surgery. I'm confident it was a good decision - took me years to decide to go for it. Having support makes a world of difference and I can't say enough what a difference really good nutrition makes. There was a world of difference between my first week at home between the first surgery and the 2nd. I made sure I took specific supplements and had a very high quality nutritious meal replacement shake for two meals. My body needed the superior nutrition and it helped a LOT. I'm so glad my blog was helpful to you, Lisa. That's exactly why I started it. When I was researching the surgery last year I couldn't find much about anyone's personal experience. So I decided to document it so that others could benefit. I'll continue it for at least a couple of years so that I can share the longer effects of the surgery. I expect good things. :) God bless you too, Lisa. Please keep in touch. Hi Lisa,
