Plantar Fasciitis Help

Interesting............

so 10yrs agoyou restricted movement of your heal/ankle??

This led to impovement.

Now with damage to neaby tissues the "PF" pain returns......

Was it realy PF to start with I ask myself????

Could it have been something else that was (mis)diagnosed as PF and that now has resurfaced I'm thinking.

My specialist (prof.of orthopaedics - foot specialist) is convinced that my PF isn't PF and never ha been for thelat 17 years! Misdiagnosed he says  - now with added nerve damage due to operation 5 years ago to cure the supposed PF.......

could yours also be nerve related???

Hi jane030757

I'm so sorry your PF is back...however,  I'm not sure what your question is. There really isn't any rhyme or reason why we get PF it seems...usually walking on hard flat floors too much in the wrong shoes with no support. Or you could pull it....or it might not even be PF alot of the time but a nerve or tendon that's irritated etc. Even the Dr's diagnose it constantly without an MRI...which you need done to really know if it's PF. I've read numerous stories where it was gone and came back later. I'm wondering if you joined a site like this or read alot about PF before? There is alot on here that you should scroll thru and just read and you'll see that everyone is different with all different levels of pain and severity. I was very severe myself...no way could I have worked. I had already stopped working due to other health issues and I had to file for disability but I was bewildered bc i would have had to quit for the PF alone. I still have it in my left heel only and it's been about a year and a half. If strapping helped you before, do it again. Roll your heel over a frozen plastic bottle of water....that alone fixed my right heel the second time I did it. Just like that...gone!! But not in my left. All of us will talk to you...I'm saying a prayer for you. 

Oh dear I am very sorry for your pain, like someone else says on here, we are all very different. My PF was diagnosed and confirmed by Ultrasound, but due to the chronic nature and lack of treatment I eventually went for third steroid injection but it couldnt be done due to the rupture of the fascia... I am having coblation surgery next Tuesday 2nd Dec, I am hoping this will be successful as I have had to start using a stick and becoming depressed due to the severirty of the pain....I wish you well Jane, I think sometimes the nerves become very irritated due to the trauma/inflammation of the fascia so the trauma due to the fractures of your tibia and fibia this may have set the nerve pain off again....Good luck Kim x
