A member asked:
I have heel pain 4 months after plantar release and spur removal seen podiatristpain management, orthopedic, neurologist. suggest anti inflammitory?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Uh Oh.: It seems to me that the reason for doing a plantar release is to eliminate the need for anti-inflammatories. After all, you could have just taken the medication without the surgery and have had the same results. Something else could be going on and I am interested in just what all the other post-operative doctors you've seen concluded. This surgery can have unpredictable results.
