Two surgeries coming up. Advice on what to expect with recovery and PMR.
Posted , 6 users are following.
I have a simple foot surgery coming up for Plantar Faschitis. This is my second one, but on the other foot. I recovered pretty well from my last one before PMR. I was running in 6 weeks. Then two weeks later I will have a hysterectomy and reconstruction. I'm a bit worried I will flare as I did in September.
I need to get these done as I struggle to walk. The female surgery has been needed for many years. I am 62 and any further delay in this I feel will make recovery harder as I age. Let's not forget my insurance deductible is paid for the year!
How have some of you done with PMR and surgery? I am currently on 7.5 mg and decreasing to 5mg by hysterectomy surgery.
Advise please.

In early July I had surgery to remove my gall bladder, they gave me an extra shot of pred whilst in surgery to help my body cope, at the time I was at around the 7mg mark. I was fine and didn't have any after effects of PMR.
Im awaiting foot surgery which has been delayed for some reason to do with the consultant, at the moment I take 3mg and hoping that I will do just as well come the time for surgery.
hope that helps in some way.
take care.

Their surgeons were only interested in them being on a stable dose - i.e. not risking a flare which would have interfered with their post op recovery and mobilisation.
