I don’t like needles. And I have small roly poly veins, so getting enough blood out of my arm was not fun. They numbed my foot. The numbing part kinda hurt and then the fascia doesn’t really get all the way numb so you can feel some burning from the lidocaine. Lidocaine was mixed in with the platelets. My doctor has all PF patients and Achilles Tendon patients go on crutches for 72 hours to avoid rupture. I transitioned into the boot this morning and it hurt a bit. I still can’t really put weight on it, so I’m still crutching some. He told me at the 6 week mark I might be 30-40 % better. But it should take a good 12 weeks to heal. I’m scared to say this, but I think I feel the telltale signs of PF in my good foot! So I’m already rolling it on a ball.
