Posted by Victoria I am getting a bone scan next week as the final step before Ossatron - can anyone give me insight, i.e., how long, how painful, are you given local anesthesia, how long to recover, success rate etc. Thanks. Victoria --Previous Message--

I can't believe how many people have this, and yet so few people ar familiar with it. I am a 31 year old, mother of two, who was a very active athletic person, up until about 18-24 months ago. I too have had the whole range of treatment from shots, to PT, to orthotics, splints, brace, cast, pain medicine, nerve medicine, MORE pain medicine - I have been through the mill and back.
: I was dignosed with Plantaar Fasciitis
: November 2003. I had been hurting
: since 06/2003. I tried everything,
: ice, night splints, cortisone shots,
: physical therapy, etc.... I had the
: Ossatron Shockwave Treatment
: (Non-invasive surgery) on both feet
: in June, 2004. The left foot has
: completly recovered. The right foot
: which was in the worst shape still
: has a way to go but is much much
: improved from before and hopefully
: will continue to improve. I go back
: to my doctor next week. I found
: that ice was the most effective
: treatment other than the Ossatron.

: Hi I am 18 and have suffered on and
: off
: with this condition for about a year
: and a half. I started to see
: symptoms
: in June 2003 when running. I was
: unable to walk for without limpinng
: for about a week but eventually the
: pain went away and I was able to be
: normal again but could no longer run
: without the pain flaring up again.
: In March of 2004 the pain flared up
: again and went to podiartist who
: prescribe orthodics. Helped until
: July 2004. Walk barefoot and with
: wrong shoes too often. Did not
: understand my condition very well so
: I ended up aggrivating it.
: Have tried stetchiing which seemed
: to
: make things worse. Cortisone shot
: did
: not help. I have dull ache sometimes
: when sitting, worsens with walking
: and standing. Cortisone shot has not
: helped. I have a shooting pain
: sometimes when I walk to much. The
: only thing that has helped much is I
: did not walk more than ten minutes a
: day four days which then enabled me
: to walk again because before that I
: could not walk hardly ten steps
: without severe pain. Night splint
: gave me pain in the arch when I wore
: it. Taping helps a little but no
: great amount. Definitely Plantar
: Fasciitis as have been diagnoesed so
: by two doctors. Is there anything
: else I can do?
