I am still in physio and still in quite alot of pain. I am supposed to still use my crutches because of the pain and swelling. Have pain across heel, along outside of foot and all around my ankle.

I work on my feet all day, but at the moment I can only take standing or walking for about 15 mins. I am due to return to work on Oct. 1st.

I returned to work at the end of January '01. Still in alot of pain. My surgeon said there was no more he could do and I was referred to another specialist in Toronto. I didn't get into him till October of '01 and was put in an air cast for 8 weeks. Still no better.

I am scheduled for another release in Sept. of '02.
