Re: Update on My Full Release Surgery Progress - If You are Interested :-)
Posted by Cheryl R. on 2/26/99
I had the surgery back in November 1998. The "full release" with the incision on the side of the foot. I didn't have much pain right after the surgery until they made me put weight on it. I only used the pain medicine for the first 2 nights and have not used any since. I had alot of pain and swelling up until a month ago when I started PT. Ever since then, it's been great. No pain at all except after being on my feet for a long period.
The PT stated that I walked on it too soon and too much... I'm not sure who to believe anymore, but the PT helped me alot and I'm sticking to what he told me. I still stretch 3 times a week and just started, this week, walking 2 miles every morning. So far so good... : )
Good luck with yours. Hope it keeps improving.
