Achilles Tendonosis Surgery and Bone Spur Debridement, happy and ready to do it again

by Diane
(Iowa)

I suffered pain for years from achilles tendonosis and haglund's deformity. (reactive bone growth in my heal from all the inflammation in my tendon) Plus heel spurs added to the pain.

I had seen several orthopedic surgeons and 2 podiatrists who all recommended stretching, physical therapy and anti-inflammatories.

I've tried orthotics in my shoes until the bone growth didn't allow me to wear tennis shoes.

Walking barefoot or on uneven surfaces was literally impossible from the stabbing pain. I could only wear slip on shoes with a 1 to 2" heel to take the pressure off my heel pain. The pain was never-ending. i used to be an active tennis player and walker and now I could barely walk the dog.

I finally found a board certified foot and ankle orthopedic surgeon who gave me hope. January 2010 I had heel debridement surgery along with an achilles tendon transfer and lengthening. The surgery was outpatient -- it lasted 1 1/2 hours.

I can honestly say I have had NO pain since the surgery...today my calf muscle feels a little tight, and I'm still working on single toe raises to build up the muscle. The surgeon removed a golf ball sized bone from me heel and described my achilles tendon as "mush." He said my tendon was basically shredded and that he was shocked by all the inflammation and the size of the heel growth.

He took a tendon from my foot and reattached it to the achilles tendon and then further up my calf he put a small notch in the tendon to help lengthen it. Yes, rehab was long -- 8 weeks no weight bearing. A life saver was using a roll-about knee walker that gave me mobility and kept my hands free...crutches are so limiting.

1 week in a splint, 7 weeks in a cast, then I progressed to a boot. Once I was in the boot I started physical therapy -- stretching and re-learning the correct way to walk.



I am getting ready to have surgery on the other leg in a few weeks. While I don't relish crawling up the stairs at home and being dependent on others to drive me places, I am anxious to be pain free. I will never be a basketball player or marathon runner, but I anticipate being able to walk long distances and be able to wear shoes with backs in them again.

Joshua Answers:

Hi Diane.

Thanks for sharing!

I'm glad the surgery's helped so far, so fast.

I'm curious how the new tendon grows/strengthens Achilles tendon. Definitely do keep stretching the muscle and connective tissue of the lower legs.

Did the doctors say anything about Achilles Tendonitis, or was it a specifically a case of Tendonosis?

It sounds like your structures, and the ecology of your structures, was pretty far along. Golf ball sized bone bone growth? Wow!


If you have the time and energy and inclination, please keep us updated as this goes along, I think that would be helpful and informative for a lot of people.

starstarstarstarstar 		Had Achilles Graft, still hurts 2 months later, sure it was the right thing to do
by: jane

Hi
I have been having trouble with my right Achilles tendon for 2 years but in March this year they did an Achilles Graft have to say that its only 8 weeks in but I am happy that I had it done.

The Doctor that did it said my Achilles was a mess at the bottom and that it would have never heal up with by the way they did try for 16 months before this op so it not as if they rushed in to this op and I would say to anyone don't rush in to an operation unless you have just about done everything possible first.

With me it now up to me it work on my Achilles to get full movement back so I can walk again and they say that going to take 6 to 12 months work on it ....

Yes the operation was painful and yes it's painful now but I am 100% sure it was the right thing for me everyone is different.

starstarstar 		Retrocalcaneal spur and achilles debridement
by: Anonymous

My levels if vitamin d and magnesium are sufficient and at optimum levels. I do not have any deficiencies in that regard. I have supplemented with both for years. The implants seem to not be sitting well in my calcaneous and it is definitely holding me back. I am in month 9 and feels like I did before the surgeries. Anyone have similar problems?

starstarstarstarstar 		Retrocalcaneal heel spur removal, 2 surgeries with continued pain and bone anchor problems
by: Dan C

Hi all.
I recently posted that I had 2 surgeries to remove a retrocalcaneal heel spur with Achilles debridement in August 2012 and removal of a lost suture excessive scar tissue And bone regrowth in feb 13. Since that time I have had increased pain in my heel bone which I believe is due to the four bone anchors that were and planted to hold the Achilles tendon down. The pain can be described as very ask you sharp stinging pains whenever the heel bone is tapped it vibrates into specific spots and my surgeon explained that those are the spots where the anchors are placed. He seems reluctant to remove the bone anchors since there is a possibility that he may have to cut the Achilles again however I cannot progress any further with therapy with the pain that I am feeling. Has anyone experienced this type of discomfort from implanted hardware. Also I was never given blood work to be analyzed to see if I was allergic to the alloy that was implanted.

Joshua Comments:

Hi Dan.

Your message looks a little messed up. If it's good enough, no problem. If you want to correct it, just do a whole new comment and I'll delete the old one.

Having said that, get your vitamin d level checked and then get it up and take magnesium.

If you don't have enough of either of those two, you can't utilize your calcium optially and metal implants in bones can have problems healing/holding.

And it can't hurt anything to get a test to see if you're allergic to the implant materials...seems like they should have done that pre-implantation....

by: Dan C

I had this surgery done in August 2012 recovery for me was extremely long and painful and today I am still going to therapy I am unable to put pressure on my foot and just last week had to go in again to remove more calcification that was forming where the old bone was removed the doctor told me that my bone was so dense he needed assistance. Also one of the bone anchors stripped going in. I just had additional surgery feb 1, 13 to remove a suture and shave down more calcification that grew back only 5 months from initial surgery. I am still unable to walk without alot of pain and limping and I am very sore to the touch. I had no choice to have this done as the Achilles was calcifying and I couldn't walk at all. I am very frustrated with this.
I need my dr to just fix this!
Dan

Joshua Comments:

Hi Dan.

It looks like your doctor can't fix it. He doesn't have an explanation for why the calcification is happening, why the stripping of the anchor happened, nor why you were hurting in the first place.

You may want to look into the connection between magnesium and bone density.

starstarstarstarstar 		my point too!!
by: Lucie

Hi that is my point too and when I asked why they said that the MRI showed bone that was not there the last time I had MRI to now and that is what is stopping me from walking and wearing shoes that they will not know about what damage its done to the tendon until they get in there but the bone need to be remove.

I have spend many a sleepless night thinking if this should be done or not but if I am to be honest with myself it has got worse not better and you can see the bone on the MIR that needs to be removed I am just so fearful of operation that I would like to think I do not need this one! but on saying that I am in pain a lot and it needs to be fixed.

And yes this is the only way it can be fixed I asked that question too.


----


Joshua Comments:

Well...they don't know why the bone is growing. They don't know if it's actually causing any damage.
Surgery absolutely will cause damage. They say it's the only way the problem can be fixed, but it's their only tool and they offer no guarantee (moneyback or otherwise) that it will work.

They haven't suggested you try any nutrition, the lack of which can cause bone spurs to grow.

They haven't mentioned that it's possible to have bone spurs and no pain or other symptoms.

They haven't suggested relaxing the muscles attached to and pulling on the Achilles tendon, which cause bone spurs to grow.

They've been wrong so far about everything else they've prescribed. Perhaps they will be right about the surgery.

by: Luice

Hi in answer to your Question yes I did answer the questions that you put to me
they say that it will not get any better after 2 years of just about trying everything else But an Operation ..Physio pool work podiatry things in my shoes a cam boot for six weeks.

I have had Tendonosis in both Achilles for some time but it is the right one that has the bone bump and I cant wear shoes any more I want too cos it hurts so much also the bump is pressing on a never some where which sends stabbing pain into my heel also tingling too the op they will do is remove the bone bump and fix the tendon which they say is damage and show up on MIR.

It just I know this will take a long time to heal they also told me that 12 months before it really right and 6 weeks in cast ..They would not operate if they did not think they could fix this as they have like me put this off for as long as I have they now say that it will not fix it self no matter what I do.I just hate operations.

Joshua Comments:

Hi Luice.

I hate operations too, except when they're A. necessary and B. effective.

Why do they think surgery will work when everything else they prescribed did NOT work? That's a pretty low success rate they've established.

starstarstarstarstar 		Recent surgery to remove thumb sized bone spur on heel
by: Anonymoukathys

I had my surgery to remove a heel spur behind the Achilles' tendon on January 11, 2013. I am still in the boot cast and have been told to apply NO pressure to that foot for at least six weeks.

I am halfway thru that today, my 3 week anniversary, at this point there is only an occasional twinge of discomfort and I assume that must be the nerves reattaching.

The Achilles' tendon was severed and a piece of bone the size of my thumb was removed and the tendon reattached with four pins. Other than the fact that I can't get up and down by myself and the long recovery I am still very optimistic that this was the right thing to do, after all you can't dissolve bone any way that I know of!

Still praying that six weeks will put me back on my feet PAINFREE!!

Joshua Comments:

Hi Anonymoukathys.

Wow, that's a big piece of bone (or you have small thumbs).

Did the doctor give you any self care suggestions while in the cast for nutrition or anything?

Hi

I have had this problem for some time and am booked in to have an operation on it as they say now it will not get any better.

But I am not sure about having a operation on it as I am fearful they will make it worse not better maybe I heard to many stories but the closer it get the more I think I will just put up with it that. I could not stand it if they made this worse.

Yes it gives me a lot of pain I just feel very lost as to what to do next ??? please can anyone make sense of this and how I feel as I feel that I want to get rid of pain but do not want them to stuff it up doing so?

Joshua Comments:

Hi Lucie.

1. How do they know it won't get better?

2. Clearly they don't have anything to offer that will make it better other than the promise of surgery. Which explains why they are sure it won't get better.

3. I appreciate your concerns about a surgery potentially making things worse. Let's investigate that:
A. Describe, in detail, your symptoms
B. Tell the story of how all this came about, and progressed.

Just want to thank everyone who shared there story on here as I have the same thing and am going into hospital on the 18Th Feb 2013 I am feeling very nervous about it but it is the pain and the fact that I can't ware shoes much anymore that Pushed me to get this fixed.

I get pins and needles in the heel too they say that it will go as it is the spur pressing on the nerves. I too am not look forwards to 6 week in a cast but I have put this off for 2 years now until I can no longer stand the pain they always tell you what can go wrong when they book you in

I know they have to do this but I wish they would not as I am not a great person for any kind of operation think if you don't have to have it don't!

starstarstarstarstar 		Fall post achilles tendonosis surgery concerned about pain and rerupture
by: Neil (uk)

Hello,

I have had the achilles surgically repaired 3 weeks ago and had the stitches out and new cast last Thursday. I had a fall hours after the new cast with all of my weight going onto my bad leg and had pain for a while after. Is there a chance of a re-rupture whilst in a cast or is the cast to prevent this?

Bit concerned as still have pain in the calf area?

Thanks.....Neil


----


Joshua Comments:

Hi Neil.

It's certainly possible that the forces triggered in the lower leg by a sudden shifting of weight onto the 'bad' foot/leg could cause enough force to separate the tissue of a fresh surgery.

The foot still pressed down into the case, as if it would be pressing down into the floor. The cast just keeps the angle of the foot from changing, but doesn't keep the muscles from firing.

An MRI is the only way to tell for sure.

1. How bad does it hurt?

2. Does it hurt differently after the fall as before (post surgery)?

3. How exactly did you fall/what exactly did your body do, motion-wise?

starstarstarstarstar 		How much is too much & When to call it quits?
by: Belinda

Not real sure where to start, so I guess with surgery #1. Had a bone spur removed from the back of my heel the achilles was wrapped in it so they had to do a complete detachment.

Reatachment meant 2 surgical titanium screws in the bone to suture back down to. Fast forward a year and a half still in extreme pain...went to an orthopaedic specialist this time only to discover through the MRI that my body was rejecting the metal implants.

Further testing revealed that I am allergic to metal. AWESOME! So revisionary surgery to remove the hardware that also included 6 procedures to try and fix some of the damage the metal had caused. I am now a year out from that operation and having the same issues all over again, MRI done again and facing the grim fate that the last MRI showed which is that my body is now rejecting the plastic implant device.

Wonder what is in store now? If they can't use metal and can't use plastic what then or just have them take it out and the tendon is not attatched at all anymore. can you go the rest of your life with the tendon detatched? So many questions just don't know if I am the only person that has been through this kind of ordeal and wanting some feedback.

When do I say enough and fold my hand and file for disability. I have not worked in over 3 years now because of all of this but haven't went the disability route thinking that I was going to get better. My husband cannot handle the financial responsibilty alone forever.

Any thoughts??


----


Joshua Comments:

Hi Belinda.

Yikes, I'm sorry to hear that.

A couple thoughts:

1. Maybe you're allergic to metal (and plastic?) implants, I'd need to hear more about that.

I'd be more concerned about your Vitamin D level and Magneisum intake, as both of those are required for Calcium utilization. What I'm really saying here is that if you don't have enough of the right nutrients, you don't heal right/bone can have a hard time healing/accepting implants.

Did your doctors take ten seconds and test you/supplement you for either of those? Highly unlikely.

I don't really have an opinion about the whole disability thing, as I just don't know.

Assumably it's still attached right now with plastic?

I'd hit up the Vitamin D and Magnesium PRONTO and see what happens.

And I'd get The ARPwave System. If anything can set things right, the ARPwave (and nutrition) can.

Also, from a work perspective, I am a huge fan of having a website for income (like this one, only about a topic you're interested/passionate in). Email me re: that if you want.

starstarstarstarstar 		One month post op achilles surgery
by: Anonymous

I had a bone spur removed with the Achilles reattached and lengthened at the calf. I was in a splint for 1 week with no weight bearing.

They removed that and put me in a boot with gradual weight bearing as tolerated and flexing exercises... No boot needed in bed. With the boot I have found it to be so incredibly uncomfortable with pressure points and a cutting feeling at the Achilles incision, so I felt better off just keeping my foot elevated and using the wheel about all the time.

I have found that I'm tolerating weight bearing quite well at 4 weeks - much better than with the boot on ... Around the house I quit wearing it all together and only put it on to go outdoors .

Am I causing any harm to the heel, Achilles repair or the calf lengthening by doing this?


----


Joshua Comments:

Hi Anonymous.

Unfortunately, I have no idea if you're causing more harm than good by pushing it. There's a lot of factors involved.

The surgery caused injury. You've got to heal from that, and hope that immobilization and then adding activity to it has everything work out.

I would expect that you would feel pain and discomfort. The question is, is that sharp feeling 'too much' pull on the severed/injured tissues, or is it just getting pulled on and sending a pain signal but not making things worse.

Will call pt tomorrow and am hoping that will help. So discouraged at this point.

Is it unusual not to be able to bear wt at this point after six wks post op?

starstarstarstarstar 		How long before I have my other ankle done?
by: Linda

It's been two weeks since I had a bone spur removed and my Achilles tendon detached and reattached with bone anchors on my left ankle. I have to have the same thing done on my right ankle and was wondering if anyone else has had both ankles done. I am still non-weight bearing and will be until I'm at 4 weeks post surgery.
I was placed in a cam walking boot, but take it off at night and when I am not moving around. My doctor just told me to be careful. That seems a lot less conservative than other's stories I have read.

Has anyone else gone without the boot this much? I am using a knee walker and plan on returning to work next week.

starstarstarstarstar 		BONE SPUR WITH ACHILLES TENDON
by: Long 2 years with achilles

I had a bone spur and slight rip in my achilles tendon on my right foot.It all started in Oct, 2010. I worked in a factory using a foot peddle for 8 hours. I used a walking cast for 3 1/2 months to try to correct the problem. Well I still had pain. So me and dr. decide to have surgery. My surgery was in Feburary 2011. Well I did 8 week in the cast, non weight bearing.

In the 9th week I got the walking cast. And was starting therpy. Well I had pain in my ankle. I could not flex my foot with out pain. I couldn't walk.

So my thepist looked at my scar, it was a keloid, and I had alot of scar tissue. So we decide to do the surgey again. I had the surgery on January 2012. The dr. debried the scar tissue,
cut out the keloid in a diamond shape cut.

Well, 5 week later, he took the stitches out. And the top half of my scar had not healed. So he cut that part of my skin out. He wanted to check for infection. Well no infection. So he suggest a skin graft. Well the skin didn't come for me. I had a aphligraf. Well to my suprise it is healing beautifully.

I'm 15 week in and I'm just having stiffness. I ging to theapy twice a week. I can move my foot up and down. I make a good decison. So hopefully I be back to normal in a few months. I wouldn't wish this pain on anyone.

at the moment is stiffness around the tendon but this is probably due to scar tissue but now it is looking highly likeley that i will need surgery again on my right foot as it looks like the calcium deposit is growing back hense my tendon is very painfull once again

It would be very useful for your doctor to know what is -causing- the bone spurs etc. If he could stop that, he could stop the need for future surgery.

I had bone spur removal, tendon reattached and the calcaneus cut like you did, after I was finally in a walking boot ,then I fell off my knee walker and totally shredded my Achilles, i had surgery all over again, with a graft from a tendon in my foot and have been in the cast 6 weeks now. I don't recommend the knee walker if you have any inner ear problems or labyrrhinthitis or dizziness.

I totally pulled the tendon from the insertion and it was shredded about 6 cms, it was a difficult surgery. This week they put me in a boot and hopefully get the physical therapy started. It's been a long haul, I just pray I will be able to walk again.

Hi Anonymous.

If you have any inner ear issues, I HIGHLY recommend you greatly increase your Magnesium intake.

Sorry to hear about the fall and the shredding. Yeah, that's pretty bad news....

I HIGHLY suggest that you up your nutrition to give your body every chance to heal optimally.

And the only thing physically I can REALLy suggest, if you want to actually heal as optimally as possible and quicker than you might think possible is to check out The ARPwave System.

I just had the same surgery on my left foot on 9/6. I started with plantar fascitis last January that I thought would get better but got worse by June and my painful walk and heel spurs caused tedonitis in my Achilles tendon.

I learned the hard way not to ignore foot pain. I have a post-op appt with my surgeon 9/19 and hope that I am healing properly (I have followed post ops instructions to the letter).

I was surprised to read the length of time of your healing process. I thought that I would be able to start putting weight on my foot next week. I am 64 and knew that I could not use crutches so have been using a walker and wheelchair.

I will look into the kneeling walker - I do not like to depend on a wheelchair. Thanks for sharing...Virginia
