I agree with Lourdes and Patricia - please consult with a doctor. This is for inflammation, not sure how it would work for you. Good luck!

If it is an inflammation then I think it should help to some extent because this is an anti - inflammatory ointment. If it doesn't, the manufacturer offers a money back guarantee. I hope it will help you if you decide to get it. Best Wishes!

Marguerite, surgery is always one of those things you need to run by your doctor I think....the only thing I can share is that I have degenerated discs in my lower back and had a LOT of pain but using this as directed, I have found my pain to be almost non existent most of the time. This cream works on inflammation and does a superb job of helping with pain....but again, I defer to your doctor's suggestion. Hope you find something to help you - this has been a wonder product for me.

I agree with some of the others, maybe check with your dr. helped me some with the plantar fasciitis pain after a point in my recovery, but your pain sounds worse

Marguerite, since your situation involves several surgeries, I would consult with your doctor on this. It worked for my knee, but then my knee was just sore and my situation did not involve surgery. Make sure that if you use this cream it will not complicate any recovery for you. Take care.

Hopeful that they will stretch a bit; I have high arches and foot was not going into sandal easily. The sandal is made nicely and when walking comfortable; and, if I can use the stretcher enough, maybe I can work it out so that I can wear then regularly without stopping the blood blow..

I think it depends on what injury you have. I broke my foot. Diagnosed with Li's Frank injury. 2,3,4 metatarsal break. I basically crushed my foot. When I wore it at night it felt fine. But in the morning when I took it off I was in extreme pain. I think its best for a couple hours for compression purposes. But longer than that I wouldn't recommend. This product is a very good product. It gives great support and great compression. Hope I helped with your question. Happy healing.

Honestly my feet are so flat I call them duck feet. They help a lot. If you have planter F, try them. I also get accupuncture on my feet and calves past few months. But without these orthodics I would be in a lot of pain. Buy them they should help!

My feet always feel fantastic after using the MediMassager. I have had a lot of foot problems in the past and this just makes life a bit better for me for a while. It is not a cure for anything, but it sure is a big help to me.

While you are getting used to them and breaking in all these nerve points you need to stay seated down in your chair and just roll your feet back forth while wearing.... do this for a week and you will build your tolerance up to be able to walk on them and get deep into your foot tissue

I am a true believer of these and if you are suffering with pain I think its your answer. I work for a hospital and the floors are not nice at all to my feet. I went to doctors, stretching, even the expensive shoes but nothing worked I bought these and in one day I could feel the pain decrease. By the end of the week my pain was gone that I had battled for the last 2 years. Recently I just had to get a new pair of shoes and they were tight fitting with these inserts so I tried for the last week without them and my heel pain is horrible my back and hips hurt so this weekend I wore my boots with my inserts and the pain went away. So long story short if your in pain you have nothing to loose but the pain! I am a true believer of these and if you are suffering with pain I think its your answer.

Emilio, all I can say about these inserts are they make your feet feel sooooooooooooooo much better for wearing them. At the end of the day you can still smile, but I can offer you further help. If you will change shoes mid day and wear a different pair of shoes (with inserts as well) your feet will not tire and hurt as much. Possibly with both aids you will experience much less pain. I am guessing that you are on your feet all day (or night).

I think not, because the media makes a stress on the foot and that should not help your swelling, I recommend you consult your doctor

This item helps with pain. But it is only light support. If you have a lot of main you need more support. You might want to check with your doctor. Thank you

Cynthia, I am not a doctor, but I did consult a podiatrist about mine. She said that only surgery will correct a severe hammertoe. She said it's a pretty simple surgery. I am reluctant to have surgery for it because I have heard from acquaintances that once you have surgery you will always have pain. I don't currently have pain from my toes, they just rub and are uncomfortable in close-toed shoes. Have you consulted a podiatrist?

I had foot surgery and had a walking surgical shoe. I ordered a short and it was fine but I had to return it as the surgical shoe was such that I could not easily get the bag onto my leg. My foot was not totally enclosed in the surgical shoe and I was afraid of bending or hitting my foot. The opening is very small and I would say unless you have a cast or a real boot, I would not go this route. You need to find out exactly what you will have.

I have had this divice a few years, you can operate it separately to a degree, the manual is very helpful. I started having numbness, pain, and tingling in my legs after a surgery which seemed unrelated to my legs, however there was some nerve damage, however this gadget is awesome for basic issues to major issues like mine. I don't know how I would make it without it. The foot massage portion is very strong so wear really thick socks if you have problems with your feet like I do with the severe numbness I have. Good luck, I hope you like it as much as I have the last 3 years.

Yagga...I think your best bet would be to talk to your Dr. about that, but I would think your new orthotics (inserts) would be worn alone.

You can't walk at all with this splint. It is soft and better than others, but it is bulky and hard to sleep with. I had very painful plantar fasciitis also following back surgery which is getting a little better after a few months. I wear insoles, some of which I bought from Amazon and small compression socks which I also bought from Amazon. Mueller makes a soft splint which is more comfortable for sleeping and you can walk with it a short distance from bed to bathroom. Keep looking.

I can't say. It gave me excellent support, whitch allowed me the ability to walk with limited discomfort.
