Personal journey with bilateral plantar fasciitis surgery
Okay, I found the photos from my plantar fasciitis surgery. I promised to post them so here they are. You can click the images to view them larger. These photos are from my November 2008 surgery.
First, I thought it would only be appropriate to begin with a photo of my surgeon, Dr. Marino (on the left).
This is where you may get a little queasy. These are pictures from the surgery.
The image below shows the plantar fascia (it’s white).
This image shows the stitching up.
This photo is post plantar fasciotomy – all stitched up. Nice big stitches.
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!
