I can give you the name of an awesome surgeon who can fix anything!! He fixed me after another doctor screwed me up 13 times.  I was unable to walk and wheel chair bound until i found him.. Hes in Indiana...

My surgery was the best thing I have ever done for myself. It's done as outpatient(you leave the hospital that day). I am now able to run and play with my kids, before I got to where I could hardly walk and by the time I would get home from work not only would my knee be swollen but my ankles too. I know that the thought of surgery is scary but trust me the thought of not being able to walk due to the pain is worse. Hope this helps!

There is no way to fix a calcaneus bone.\nI take it you mean to remove the excess calcium.

Best, see a doctor, earliest. Must avoid further complications. Prevention is better than cure! The doctor will even recommend safe ways to avoid the pain and ensure early recovery.

Real injury. David Beckham had it and Gary Neville had it. This is a common football injury. Ask anyone working in A&E. The metatarsal is the long bone from the ankle to the toe. There are five of them. Any nasty blow to the foot could do it or if someone steps on your foot while you are moving or twisting it.\n\nIf you are not a sports person, you could be walking reasonably well after a week although it depends on whether the bone is still well aligned or displaced

No the only thing you can get to correct them is with surgery. \nSORRY :(

Well, you just need TIME.  Got any shoes that are too big...or borrow some...or send a family member to Target to buy some really soft  black slippers that look kinda like boots and will  be  barely noticable.  don't know of anything to speed up healing.

broken metatarsal, or to the rest of us a broken toe!

I've had similar problems, not that I didn't have the money, just that I didn't want to spend the money on a doctor cutting on my foot. I had a bad one that went on for several months, soaking it and trying to fix it myself, until finally one day it hurt so bad I couldn't walk on it. I used some Peroxide to wash and clean it and then slowly started working with a small pair of scissors, the kind most women have for whatever they use them for lol, to move then end of the nail up out of the place that hurts...it took a while and it was painful at times, but as soon as I got it worked up and could break it off, it felt sooo much better. I know this isn't the safest or healthiest way, but if you keep everything clean and sterile it wouldn't hurt. I fixed mine and it's not bothered me for over 4 months now. Hope this helps a little.

it seems that you have exhausted all the conservative methods for treating plantar fasciitis. Weight loss, stretching before work, and comfotable shoes may provide relief. I know no one likes to be operated on, so good luck.

Wearing incorrect shoes can cut the blood supply to the toes, which can cause the nerve cells to die so you loose  sensation in them. If you get somebody to rub the areas for a long time you might be able to get back some or all of the sensation. From a Reflexology point of view, if you are interested, that's the head area on the foot so you could be suffering from unexplainable headaches. Again, rubbing this area can ease that off too.

If the surgery is worth it? Depends on your pain tolerance...not to mention infection.  However, I just got 2 ingrown toenails removed, along with cutting off a oice of skin my doctro put something to on my toenali root to kill a small portion of my toenail (the portion that kept getting ingrown). It has been three years and I have yet to get another one. I wear boots and climbing shoes all the time and have yet to have another toenail become ingrown.\n\nI would get the surgery and ask about stopping the root from coming back, some way to kill that bad part.

Much sympathy. I ruptured a disk doing Akido when I was 21. The doctors gave me exercises to do and told me to take ibuprofen. There's surgery that can "repair" the damage, so to speak, but at the loss of a certain amount of flexibility (they have to "fuse" the two vertabrae together), but they are somewhat reluctant to do it. Been putting up with the pain now for 29 years.\n\nOnly advice I can give is, if you really want to have the surgery raise bloody hell about it... switch doctors if the one you have won't do it. It's the only way to get results. Pain will be gone but you might not be able to touch your toes.

Surgery is the worst case alternative to cure the plantar's fasciitis.  However, specially made orthotic inserts from the podiatrist did wonders for me personally.  Other suggestions would be losing weight if you are over weight, and spending less time up on your feet.  Make sure you are walking properly with heel to toe steps.

I had a large skin graft on the top of my foot. The injury to my foot was very painful...but, i don't think the skingraft was so bad. They took the graft from  my upper thigh...it (the donor site) was pretty itchy till it healed. My foot hurt so bad from the injury it is hard to say if the graft added to that pain. It would also depend on how thick the graft is because sometimes it has to be thicker. Mine was real thick cause the injury to my foot cut off the blood supply and the skin and tissue died and had to be removed. This was a long time ago...and maybe outcomes have improved...but i have a very large scar where they took the skin from and also on my foot.

yes----------a broken foot takes much longer than that to heal.
