I have been dealing with debilitating foot pain in my right foot after RTKR 2 months ago. I saw a foot specialist today, referral from my surgeon, he basically told me it’s damage caused by the nerve block. It may get better over time, or it may not. It’s changed my life, not for the better. The foot doctor is prescribing large dose gabapentin and said I should call my surgeon for a referral to pain management or anesthesia (?). And that was that.
I will take the medicine and remain hopeful. I try to ignore the pain as best I can to continue doing what I love, but it’s fair to say I am feeling quite depressed.
