I initially had huge relief, however, 5 weeks postop got a serious infection and became septic. My foot had not completely closed and at the onset of the infection it was never cultured. Even with much pressure put on the doctor. After obtaining another opinion, now have many other tendons ruptured. Due apparantly from excessive steriod injections. Also complicated by rheumatoid arthritis, I am 39 years old! Have sacrificed running/walking/ and cycling. Gained 30 pounds in four years and greatly reduced my activities with my family.
