plantar fascitis/Heel pain

[ebonymc 52]

Anyone have heel pain before getting sleeved? My weight started to creep up after having the band removed several months ago. Now I notice that I'm having terrible heel pain in the A.M. After walking or standing, It starts to go away. Anyone experience this?

That's me! Had PF and 2 Achilles Tendon surgeries in the year before my sleeve surgery. My foot pain was the #1 reason I decided to have the sleeve. I went from working out 5-6 days a week to barely being able to stand in the shower.

Here is what I can say 6 months post-op: it is SO MUCH better! I have lost 53 pounds and it makes the world of difference w/ my foot pain. It isn't gone completely and I continue to work with specialists and therapists to get it back to 100%. But, losing weight has helped a ton!

In the meantime, I recommend a night brace to help keep foot stretched and help with early morning pain. Footsmart.com

Also, reflexology for PF helped a ton pre-op!

Good luck to you!

Had horrible PF before I was banded. In down about 70 and it resolved but now I have pain on the top of my foot and ankle so I have to go see the dr again. I can't take Advil so not sure what I can do about this. Acupuncture? PT? My whole right knee is thrown off because I'm walking funny
