I've been getting a really sharp pain under the heel of my left foot (had right hip replaced on the 9th March) for the past couple of weeks. It has gradually gotten to the stage where I can't walk barefoot at all (which I normally do around the house), and it hurts like heck whenever I put any weight on that foot!
I saw my physio today and he said I have Plantar Fasciitis - probably due to my increased level of physical activity over the past few weeks and the fact that my gait is still not quite 100% right. As per his instructions I've been icing and have bought some pharmacy stocked orthotics designed specifically for this problem.
I guess I can understand how this could happen - my gait hasn't been "right" for the past three years and my "style" of walking has been constantly changing in that time.
My question is.............Has anyone else had this problem following a hip replacement? And if so, do you have any other recommendations for treatment?
