I had a gastroc lengthening. The incision is minimal (2") on the medial right calf. Immediately after the procedure the MD stated I had a 20% increase in range of motion. He had quoted me an 80% chance of this solving the PF. It has now been two weeks post-op the immobilizer is off and I have been instructed to stretch aggressively, "you can't stretch too much." It smarts doing it, but I am committed to making this work. I had bilateral ESWT in Jan 2005 and then left is much better than the right. He said this is my last, best chance. I have tried all conservative modalities for PF.
