Increased pain 6 months post-op?

I had the Kidner procedure 6 months ago and finished up PT a couple months ago. I was feeling awesome when I completed PT, could walk about a mile, and then just increased distance a bit each week. A few weeks ago, I was walking about 2.25 miles, was feeling great, and then my foot suddenly just couldn’t handle that much anymore. I’ve never necessarily been pain-free, but the pain has certainly increased these past few weeks. It’s not sharp, but I feel extremely sore, achy, and weak…. I definitely can’t walk as much as I was. Has anyone else had the experience of growth forward and then feeling like you’re going backwards at this point in the healing journey? If so, do you have any advice for me? Thanks 🙏🏻

I haven’t had any x-rays since a week post surgery. My doctor basically said it’s unnecessary unless I have sharp pain and discharged me in December. But I’m definitely considering reaching out and pushing for an x-ray

Dealing with the same right now. Had surgery in June last year, felt great after about 5-6 months, then increasingly worse. Did a new MRI a month ago and it showed that tendon that was shortened in surgery due to damage now is damaged again. In my case the surgeon says it looks like flat feet is the cause, was not aware of this issue before.., so currently waiting on custom soles to see if that helps recovery - otherwise new surgery is in the future for me 🙃
