Os peroneum removal and tendon/ligament tear
Posted , 3 users are following.
hi everyone, i had severe lateral foot pain, couldnt bear weight, and was swollen as all get out. i went to urgent care, where they told me they didnt know what was wrong (even after x-rays) and told me to elevate, rest and ice. i knew something else was up so i went to an ortho doc and after x-rays and an mri...i had an os peroneum that was completely shattered and torn either my tendon or ligament (i cant remember). i had surgery this past wednesday. they gave me an array of meds (hydros, naproxen, phenergan, keflex, and a muscle relaxer for muscle spasms). my pain has been tolerable. BUT THESE LEG/FOOT SPASMS ARE MAKING ME CRAZY. i have my first follow up appointment tomorrow. has anyone else experienced these spasms?? ive been taking the valium for the muscle relaxing spasm stuff, but i dont feel like ive seen others with this type of issue or discomfort.

i had muscle spasms and crazy pins and needles , vibrations even after 6 months post surgery due to the nerves. i took gabapentin ( still take it) to check the vibrations . check with your doctor if that would work for you. speedy recovery and hang in there .. i always think in my mind , one day it will be back to normal ..be positive and do anything to keep your mind ( i know its tough) from thinking about your pain or spasms
