Hello everyone -
I guess one thing that I want to stress to everyone, is that results are are so individualized for all -I had conventional surgery on my foot in January, 1998. I have PF in both feet, and have been dealing with this for over 2 1/2 yrs. Yes, my foot feels better than prior to the surgery. Pain free? No. My dr, (ortho surgeon, specializing in foot and ankle), says it will take over a yr to get to that point). He has done both EPF , and conventional. He would rather do the conventional, since he can see so much more. I guess what I'm saying, is don't be discouraged if what you are experiencing does not seem to match up with other people on this web site - EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT.
Personally,I feel that yes, the surgery was worth it. I was home for 3 1/2 weeks non weight bearing, but I am much better than prior to the surgery. The other foot? I'm waiting for final results on the first foot!! In another 6 months, I may have the other foot done. I'll let you know!!
Sue
