Tarsal Tunnel

[ihadthesurgery2008]

I have had a very hard time getting back on my foot to walk! I had the release 3/28/08 and I go to P.T. 3x's/week and it is a very cumbersome process. The foot still has shooting pains and spasms some days all day long. I take Neurontin and Tramdol and Celebrex now for the pains and they hepl sometimes. My therapist now thinks i have a L5-S1 problems causing the nerves in the inner calf to be compressed and make the foot hurt so bad at times i cannot walk at all. I have pain and sensitivity in the inner calf and there are knots and scar tissue from the muscle tightening. She says it is separate from the TTS but i do not know????
Any one else out there having this issue? I am almost sorry i had the surgery!!!!!!!!

How are you doing now? I still have not decided to have the surgery, just continue to suffer.

I had Tarsel Tunnel Release surgery on March 30th. The recovery time has been very slow. I still can not walk very far. I can get from the car into the stores, but have to use a scooter to shop. I am scheduled to have surgery on the other foot on Monday. I am hoping that after the surgery on the second foot I will begin to see progress. My doctor has been very positive. My job has a "no light duty" policy for employees in my position so I have been unable to return to work. I am hoping that by August I will be able to be up around with out assistance so I can go back to work. Have you talked to your doctor about what the physical therapist has told you? Maybe you should get a second opinion.

How are you doing now I just had my second injection it accurately made it worse ,i only take celebrex and nerontin but it is only taking the edge off. I was just wondering how you are doing after your tt release.
