Heel lift after ankle fusion

Posted , 4 users are following.

It has been 12 months since my ankle fusion and my right side has really been hurting xray show everything is fine. Physio has put a heel lift in my shoe which seems to be doing the trick. Doctor measured my legs today 2cm difference. Has anyone had a heel lift made. I live in Cairns, Australia and I do not want to wear joggers for the rest of my life. Any help would be appreciated.

      Hi no they didn't just the hip because that is where most of the pain was coming from.
