It's been about 6 weeks since I had arthroscopic plantar fasciotomy in both feet. The Doc says I should be feeling better but I have just about constant nagging pain in my arches and pain along the back edge of the heel. My right foot,which was worse to begin with,is worse than the left- if I press on the incision site I get this bad pain like A TOOTHACHE. Sometimes I feel the pain from my heel run up the back of my leg to under my knee. The Doc gave me a couple of more cotisone shots to "knock-out" the pain. I felt better for about a week but now my feet are burning again. I don't know how I can go back to work yet because at my job I am constantly on my feet. Has anyone out there collected disability for more than 6 weeks? Has anyone had this slow recovery?
