HI I had surgery in oct of 96 I feel my foot is actually worse, I don,t know if I can attribute it to a incompetent doctor or if if I just tried to do to much to soon? I went to another doctor and he was reluctant to say that the surgery was botched. I did get some short term relief{not total} when he put me in a cast on two diferent occasions, by keeping my foot pulled up and back in the cast, the one thing it did accomplish it got my swelling under control..He has since sent me to a pain clinic at a local hospital, after they decided that I was,t nuts the neurologist tried two lumbar blocks which is suppose to do something to the nerves, they did,t work either. I,m am now on a second kind of medication which is helping alot, this is just the 3rd day on it, but i won,t know for two weeks if i,ll be able to take it long term or not. What I seem to be seeing on this net is that some things work for different people, so its seems hard to say what really works and what does't. In retrospect, after experiencing both, I would have elected to try the lumbar blocks first, tho they did'nt work for me, it was sure a lot less traumactic. I wish you luck! and hope you keep your sanity:}
