    No I haven't and that doesn't sound like much fun either. I have had a burning like sensation some days but that's about it. I am 6 weeks today.

      Thanks for responding. Have you re-gained total feeling back in your foot?

      Yes feeling in the foot is all good and good movement too. The burning sensation is more from being up and about on it I think.

      How long did it take for u to regain complete feeling in your foot???

    Yes I have. I am 18 weeks post op this week. I get it especially after stretching my calves during p/t or during the night following p/t. It is grueling and this recovery isn't something I would wish one anyone...
