    @luvcats Ya my sneakers are pretty new. Didn’t feel like dishing another $140/$150 on sneakers buy I guess I need to to see if that will help with my foot issues. I was taking curcumin supplement before surgery but ended up with a big bruise on my arm as my blood became too thin after taking...

    @Jockette Actually I wear sneakers at my job. Couple of months before surgery I had bought a brand new pair of Asics so I thought my shoes should be ok. But seems like I should try some other brand like Hoka or Brooks. I am sure my gait has changed. @Jamie I do these stretches twice a day and...

    @Jockette Do you mind telling me what brand you wear or type of shoes you wear. I never walk barefoot even in my house. I always have something on. I do the calf stretches twice a day. Strange thing is that I never had issues with my foot before my knee replacement. It’s the surgical leg. I...

    @Jockette Yes that’s what I am worried about. Unwanted side affects of it. Any suggestions as to what can help me with calf discomfort and heel/foot pain.

    @Shewolf38 You should definitely listen to Jamie. The exercises your PT is making you do are damaging your new knee rather than benefiting you. I have been silently following the forums advice and it helps with keeping the swelling and pain down.

    I went to see a podiatrist today and he told me I have a heel spur at the bottom of my heel and a heel spur at the back of my heel. He told me that it’s easier to treat the spur at the bottom with a steroid shot but for the one at the back of my heel all I can do is Ice, do stretching exercises...

    luvcats, sistersinhim, ElanorG, marieltha, kneeper, Thanks guys for all your suggestions. I will find a podiatrist first thing tomorrow morning and make an appointment. I am really disheartened with all this pain I am dealing with. Hoping and praying that this resolves

    I need a little advice. I have posted about this before. I have been doing calf stretches. Been icing and elevating but I continue to have really bad heel pain to the point where I am having a hard time putting my weight on it and even walking to the bathroom. Also I continue to have calf pain...

    @kneeper Is it the one where you put your hands against the wall and bend your good knee and keep your bad knee/leg straight? Is there any other stretch?

    @sistersinhim Ya it’s not hot or red. It is sore or tight muscles.
