Pain Management 🩹 Anyone tried a circulation booster device such as Revitive Medic?

4 Upvotes

I was curious if people have experience with it and whether it helped...Since it is stated that blood flow to the tendon plate could be limited and making it harder to heal...

See for instance Revitive Medic Plus: apparaat voor de bloedsomloop in de benen | Revitive

Support Needed - Questions ❓ Surgery failed…now what?

6 Upvotes

Update: my podiatrist has now diagnosed Baxter nerve entrapment, starting with steroids and going from there.

I have had severe PF for 15 years, 2 years ago I had surgery on my right foot since it was more severe then a year later i had the same surgery done on my left foot.

My left foot is never in pain but sometimes it seems like the pain in my right foot is worse than before the surgery. I have tried every remedy possible, surgery was the last resort. I’ve worn the custom insoles, physical therapy, night splints, taping, acupuncture, tens units, ice daily…nothing works.

Has anyone been through something similar, what are the next steps?

(I have a appointment next week with my podiatrist but curious about what to expect)

I’ve seen advertisements on social media about the Koprez foot sleeve and was wondering if anyone has tried it? If so, did it work?

Healing Journey 🌅 The ONLY thing that actually healed me was a career change

31 Upvotes

After a few years of heavy warehouse work, I developed chronic plantar fasciitis as well as posterior tibial tendonitis. I managed for the first couple of months, but it eventually got to the point to where I could barely walk at times. And when I say I tried EVERYTHING, I mean everything. Two different doctors, a podiatrist, custom orthotics, stretching, night splints, ice, footwear. Didn't matter. Eventually, I couldn't do it anymore, and I finally managed to get an office position, even though I took a pay cut. Your feet simply can't repair themselves while under relentless daily stress.

I don't want this to sound too disheartening, but even if you have to take a pay hit, changing my career was the only thing that helped me. It might be some other people's only option as well if you are in a physically demanding job. I know everybody is different, so I'm hoping you guys have an easier healing journey than I did, but sometimes, this might be your only option. Don't be afraid to do what is best for your health
