In 2 shoes! Haglund’s Recovery
February 27, 2012 by tinat702
I haven’t written in a while….being mobile doesn’t allow you to sit still! Let’s recap - I got my walking boot on 12/27/2011 and spent a little over 6 weeks in it. I graduated to two shoes on 2/14/2012.
I feel like I am still taking baby steps. I just started feeling like a walking pro in my boot and then I graduate to two shoes. Now I feel like I am starting all over again.
Walking slow again, lots of pain and swelling. But I am coming up on my 2 week anniversary of being in two shoes and it’s getting a little better.
Even better news is that I might not have to do physical therapy! Yeah! I got some Mederma cream and have been instructed to apply and massage the scars as mush as possible. Doc said if the scars look better in 6 weeks, then I might not have to do therapy. SO my DH is rubbing as much as he can, which makes it hurt, but in a good way.
I’ve been experiencing these strange shooting pains from one scar to another. I am assuming this is nerves making connections. I still have no feeling at the back of my heel in between the scars, and that’s where I am feeling shooting pains. Everything must be reconnecting 
Happy Healing everyone!

See it’s been awhile since you posted. Would like to know if you are back to normal after a year and a half. I am 7 weeks post op and wondering if I made the right decision!
Thanks for responding back! Sorry to hear things are 100% for you yet.
The incision feels fine, the spot where the Haglunds was and the spur feel fine, I am having pain on the inside of my foot now back by the heel. Just so very odd and concerning.
Yes stairs are a chore. Wonder if I will ever barrel down them like a used to.
Hope the biking is helpful. Thanks for posting about your experience with this surgery - has helped reading others experiences!
