Physical Therapy- Pain- Nerve

Hi,

Does anyone have incredible nerve pain in their heel? I was told this is

the sciatic nerve that is effected. When I stand 1/2 foot on carpet, 1/2 on

floor I feel it, and also with PT- we do stretches and when they push down on my

heel I usually scream.

Does this get better?

I feel like it's causing a lot of the leg pain I have because I irritate it by

standing.

Thanks!

yup, i've got heel pain too.  I didn't initially think it was sciatic pain,

because it showed up so much later but that's what it is.  I'm hoping that will

simmer down during recovery.  it was nice not to feel it for the first day or

so :-).  I had no success with stretching anything during pt.  every stretch

we tried just irritiated my nerve more.  the heel pain had me a bit worried

more initially because i was afraid of throwing my walk off even more than it

was.

I do also. I thought it was due to achilles tendon being so tight.

,

It can definitely be caused by injury to the sciatic nerve. As to whether it

will go away, only time will tell. But, meds for neuropathy should help

manage it.

    You are not alone.  I have pain in my left heel/ankle.  It has been

attributed to sciatica.  The parasthesias I have mean that sometimes I cannot

tell if the pain originates in my heel/ankle or in my butt.  It's annoying, but

I do not take any pain meds.  This sciatica was present pre-op and is worse 15

months post-op.
