So sorry to hear you need a 2nd surgery. I also will not watch the video. I wonder if they should have done the shaving of the bone spur originally since they were already "in there". Such a shame they have to go back in. Please keep us posted.Hello to all and hope everyone is well. My new Avitar..comes from my trip to Germany (other side of the Rhine looking at Dusseldorf) over this past Christmas. Not much hiking but I did do some long camino-like walks when the weather cooperated.
I thought I would provide an update especially because there are so many people with simular issues. Mine is a severe case so Maybe some people may not have extreme foot pain to the degree to which mine has progressed but I thought the info might be useful just the same. No camino for me in 2020 that is for sure and I of course will update you all on those many days with my foot iced and up in the air
Moderators —feel free to edit anything here ..Or move to the proper place!
Surgery #2 scheduled in 2 weeks Mid June. Right foot Plantar Facia Release bone spur removal. A more invasive more painful and Longer recovery period. This time the bone spur will be shaved down under my heel on the foot bottom Due to continued pain and difficulty walking daily... Link below only for those interested —-Not for the faint of heart
Warning graphic Surgical video!!!
History of treatment:
Surgery #1 in mid January was a Endoscopic Plantar Faciaotomy In which they cut the tendons . This went well and it is not often that they need to shave the bone...I guess I must be the exception Because heelspurricus persisted ...I am often a trailblazer
Pre surgical Injections. All of 2019 Include all manner of injections from cortisone to Plasma. Several !!!!!

Remember that your feet will carry you far but only if you take care of them ! This is your instrument care for it and it will take you places you have never been!!
Buen Camino To all !!!
the video is only for those with the cast iron stomach@Iriebabel, I will not look at the video, all I want to say is how much I admire you for your ability to keep the bright side out. Thank you.
All the best to you, Iriebabel. Good luck with the operation, hopefully you will be up and walking after your recovery period.
Thanks ChrissySo sorry to hear you need a 2nd surgery. I also will not watch the video. I wonder if they should have done the shaving of the bone spur originally since they were already "in there". Such a shame they have to go back in. Please keep us posted.
Thank you so ,much I will keep everyone updated at least I know I have the Humor in times of COVID thread to keep me on the positive!!@Iriebabel : my best wishes for everything! Un abrazo fuerte!
I will say that if you can not walk a camino this year because of your upcoming surgery, this is certainly the year to give the camino a "miss". I hope you are able to take care of your lovely garden flowers.Thanks Chrissy
The shaving is not normally done. it is most panful, simular to what they did in my left knee.
some recover with injections and some people recover with the release of the plantar facia ..
in this I must be exceptional!!!
that heelsperricus is very persistant and stubborn but to be honest I think my issues have a lot to do with my military injuries ...just a continuation maybe.
Well no rest for the crazy...I am getting fat from COVID Isolation and Heelspericus so I found a Non weight bearing remedy for post surgical recovery ...no more excuses !!!! Im in training for the nextI will say that if you can not walk a camino this year because of your upcoming surgery, this is certainly the year to give the camino a "miss". I hope you are able to take care of your lovely garden flowers.
Thank you. I Promise I will do my bestOwwww!
Good luck and heal quickly!
Sorry I am late in replyingHi Iriebabel
So sorry to hear of your problem - feet are so important !
Have you looked into using the Feldenkrais Method ? It helps by addressing the habitual underlying movement patterns that contribute to the tendency to plantar fasciitis/bone spurs. In my experience problems tend to repeat if you don't address the underlying reasons. I've had plantar fasciitis and I know how painful and difficult to resolve it can be
Sorry for the late reply. I wish you the best. Yes always best to take care of your feet. Hopefullly at the most you will only need the plantar surgery ...the heel spur removal is a last resort. If you neglect the feet too long they will bite back.I am afraid that I will need the same surgery, but I will not look at the video until I will have to. It's been at least 6 months with almost no change in degree of pain. Honestly my feet had been neglected parts of my body until it started hurt a lot. Then I realize how complicated the structure is with 26 bones in each foot. Anyway, I am hoping my body heals itself as time passes to the point I can walk 25km a day.
Thank you so much. This just gives me more strength And encouragement to walk again. I like your podiatrist - good sense of humor.Good luck with your procedure. I have been plagued with foot problems from overuse. I have had bone spurs, neuromas, plantar fasciitis, broken metatarsals, and compartment syndrome from a broken tibia. So I feel your pain and wish you well on your future adventures on foot. Feet are important.
My podiatrist suggests that the I should consider becoming a Certified Public Accountant to solve my foot problems.
Thank you So much ..I am felling blessed and doing well ! Best wishes to you and those you hold close.So glad that there's hardly any pain!
May that be so when you heal enough to walk, as well - I hope you heal quickly and you're on your feet asap!
You're an inspiragion @Iriebabel ... you have so much courage and strength of heart.
Thank you and I get inspiration for you and @VNwalking walking as wellI agree with @VNwalking. Definitely, you are inspiragional!
Thanks...I try hard to maintain a positive spirit despite injury.Your spirits seem good, and the technical explanations were interesting. Best wishes!
Fantastic news!I must confess I was excited when he said I can finally get a proper showerI was in love at this point !!!
Even more important I can finally see the Happy possibility of another camino in my future...
