Post excision surgery for "Tarsal Coalition"
I am a 21 year old female who struggled with walking and doing everyday activities. So I went through a whole lot of specialists, and after over 6 months of (dare I say it) hell, I went to an orthopaedic surgeon. He then told me I had Tarsal Coalition, after looking at my MRI scan. Firstly I went through the non-surgical options (cast, moon-boot etc.), but nothing worked. So I opted for the surgical solution.
So over 7 months ago I had an excision for the Tarasal Coalition in my left foot. I recovered well and was able to walk after 1 month of surgery for short periods of time. However now I am still struggling to walk for long periods of time due to the amount of pain I am in.
Basically I was wondering whether anyone is in a similar situation to me. And if so, what kind of remedies did you use to make life easier? Does anything help with the pain. Or can you offer me any advice?
HELP!!!
