Hi Mark. I'm Vicki and I can feel the pain you have in your feet. I see you're going to have the TTS surgery shortly. Is this by chance athroscopic vs being incised? I've done lots of research on the surgery and haven't been able to let the DOC talk me into it. The TTS is now affecting my ability to work the long hours as well as daily living. I've done all the injections, orthotics and night splints all without much relief. I'm worried about the reported success rate of 50-60% and the long difficult recovery time. I haven't really been able to talk with anyone who's had the release and I'd be very interested to follow how your surgery goes here on the forum. I'm sure others would also. Good luck with the surgery!
