Member 76 , Utah | Subject: Anyone have endoscopic plantar fasciotomy? Has anyone has endoscopic plantar fasciotomy surgery? If yes, how was your recovery? How long before you were able to start running again? How soon before you were able to swim/pool run (I'm assuming this would be once the incisions are healed and I'm guessing I'd be able to pool run earlier than swim due to pushing off the wall with swimming), cycling, and running at a low percentage of body weight on an Alter-G treadmill? Finally, were you able to return to running and racing pain free, or at least much improved over pre-surgery? I've been dealing with arch pain and plantar issues for over 2 years now. I've already had the Tenex FAST procedure, PRP injections, extensive PT exercises and stretching, ART, dry needling, graston, and of course time off running ... you name it I've done it. About the only things I haven't had done is ESWT or cortisone injections. I'm afraid a plantar release is my last resort option and am looking at a endoscopic plantar release. If anyone has had this procedure done and can share your experience I would very much appreciate it! |

Member 76 , Utah | Subject: RE: Anyone have endoscopic plantar fasciotomy? I had an EMG last week that confirmed tarsal tunnel - nerve entrapment - in both feet. I'm having surgery next week to release the nerves and he will do a minor planar release at the same time. The reason my PF wasn't getting any better is because of the previously undiagnosed nerve entrapment. Gastrocnemius release would just be another treatment, that in my case, wouldn't do one bit of good. I think a lot of people with stubborn PF may be like me and have other issues that are not be considered or addressed because too many doctors see foot/arch pain automatically = plantar fasciitis. It look me 6 doctors to finally think outside the box and order the EMG, which confirmed the diagnosis very easily. |
