Plantar Fasciotomy

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.

Hey there,

I have reached the 2-month mark since surgery on my left foot. I wish I could say that I’m running around pain free. Not quite. I’m making progress, but still have to limit walking. At least I can get ready for the day without having to constantly sit down. But when I can I break up the morning routine into segments.

The 30-day nutritional cleansing system I mentioned before is going very well. I lost 7.5 pounds in nine days and have more energy than I’ve had in years. Results vary, but I’m very happy with mine.

I was feeling so energetic that I was up and around a lot. Too much actually. So now I have to greatly limit my walking again. My feet pretty much hurt all day, but I know that I’m still recovering. This is a three-month process and it’s only been two. Sometimes it’s hard to be patient, but then I remember that once I’m fully recovered next year I’ll be able to start hiking again – even if my first hike is a couple of times around the block! LOL

Correction: This is more like a 6-month recovery process with a full year for complete internal recovery.

This is another great site I found with a unique tool to help strengthen the foot – works great! I didn’t begin to use this tool until I had done the other safe exercises for plantar fasciitis. I made sure that I felt I had good flexibility and range of motion first as determined by my physician and physical therapist.

When I ordered the Foot Trainer and massage tool I took them in to my physical therapist so she could tell me if I had made a good investment. She thought so.

Here is the link so you can check out the Foot Trainer and see if it’s a good tool for you in treating your plantar fasciitis or help with your recovery after surgery: http://www.foottrainer.com/plantar/ (be sure to read about the exercises and incorrect exercises – I’m sure the incorrect exercises will be very familiar to you if you’ve ever been treated for plantar fasciitis).
