Dr. Kwong (from Kerlan and Jobe) performed Tarsal Tunnel surgery, because the scar tissue had wrapped around the nerves following heel spur surgeries. He also sent me to a Neurologist to give me a NCV test (Nerve Conduction Velocity)to verify that the nerves were severely blocked in my ankles and feet. Dr. Kwong said he tried to release the fascia, and cut out the scar tissue, but your body, unfortunately, grows more scar tissue. I think people pass through stages like grief, denial, anger until they finally reach acceptance.
I've finally reached that point. I am in severe pain all the time, so I breathe deeply, and try to relax, and I can bring the level of pain down to a 6 or 7 on a scale of 1-10.
