I had my second injection the pain is not better its worse has anyone had this happen ? I don't know if they can do anything anyone it throbs all the time and at night it feels like a knife going into my foot and it hurts to even have the sheet touch it. The doctor wants to try one more shot but it is so much worse after the first I don't know if he will do another one or just do the sugary i amgetting very frustrated.

thanks lora

Hi ,I am new to this forum.But not to TTS. I received my third and last injection 2 weeks ago.(I have it in both feet). But I also noticed the pain became worse with each shot also.Actually I think it felt like the pain was clearer as to where it was coming from on my feet.But it made it more intense.I told my Dr. about it and he seemed to understand.I refused to get the 4th shot.So,I am now going to undergo the surgery.I will find out the surgical date tomorrow.He feels this will work for me,I am also getting the ligament on the other side of my ankle tightened up at the same time.As I have problems with it giving out on me after turning it severely a few times in the past.

I only have it in my right foot but it a lot worse after the second shot I called to tell the doctor it had that it was waking me up at night and the pain was worse.They said that he didn't want to give me anything else till he see me on the 21st. I am thinking because the injection did not help at the he will recommend surgery but i dint know for sure .Let me know what your doctor says and good luck.

My surgery is on Oct 27th.I am getting my right foot done.Then hopefully the left before years end.But only if I can heal well enough to do it so soon.So today is the 21st what did your Dr say?

[lora j]

went in for the office visit he decided to not do a third injection because the second made it worse so he switched me from Nerontion to lyrical . It seams to help some but i still have the sensitivity in the foot as well as pain it has gotten better but it is far from 100%. I am on long term disability from work it will only cover me till my foot is better ,My question is the lyrical could be covering up some of the pain but not all and my question is does tts ever get better with meds or is this med just covering this up. he has said the next step is surgery but he said sometimes you go in and can find what is causing the compression and sometimes you cant . That doesn't sound very good so i am very confused i don't know what is going on . how was your tts release surgery did it go well i hope you r doing good.

Well I got the surgery done on the 27th along with Brostrom repair on the other side of my ankle.My TTS does feel better.But I am still non weight bearing in my air cast, so I can't really tell till I walk on it.Hopefully next week. I think.But it feels much better than the other foot does right now.I have never taken any of the drugs for TTS and nerve pain.Thankfully!I hear some negative stuff about the side effects.And if there is a side effect I will get it.LOL.I know it is a very confusing decision to make to have the surgery or not.My Dr told my hubby that something (a nerve or vein???) popped right out when he cut the tendon.I was out of it- in recovery room. But then he also made an incision on the bottom of my foot also.I need to ask him why?!If there was something there to release too? Good luck if I can be of any more help let me know.But I feel it might have been successful,imagine that..a positive post about their surgery?! Sharon

Hi
I had a third injection he said he has never seen or heard of a cortisone shot making it worse so he has me taking 150 mg of lyrcia on another shot he said that i am going to have to decide if i can live with it or its surgery. He was pressing on my foot and ankle he said its not compressed in the arch were its normally is its higher up above my ankle so now he thinks he is missing something. I am so confused help if you can.

Sharon,
how are you doing was the tts release a success I figure you able to put weight on it by now. hope you are doing good. I go back to the doctor today and I don't know what to do I really don't want the surgery but other than living with this i think i am out of options, sometimes i think he fills it should be better almost like i am faking it .I am not but i do have a few good days but i usually pay
for it.

Hi, yes I got out of the aircast one week ago.It is much better than the other foot that still needs surgery.I can really feel a difference when I have been Christmas shopping.So I feel mine was sucessful!I also had a ankle tightening procedure done .So instead of being NWB for 3 weeks as for TTS I had to be 5 weeks NWB and then 1 week in aircast WB.I am scheduled to have the surgery on the other foot on 29th of Dec.If all you are getting done is the TTS go for it.Seems to have worked for me.But make sure you can trust your Dr.Mine didn't seem to think it was unusual at all that the injections didn't work for me.And I have read that it isn't unusual for it not to work either.Maybe you should get a second opinion if you think your Dr isn't in the loop.You have to go to someone who is very experienced with this.My Dr is awesome.But the healing for the TTS was easy,but my Dr does it arthroscopic so all I had was a small incision on my ankle and a smaller incision on the bottom of my foot.Check into that too.Much quicker healing time!
