Plantar fibromatosis and plantar facisitis

Hi All, Does anyone know if people get plantar faciistis as well as plantar fibromatosis. The fasiitiis pain in the heel is very bad, and I have had it now for a couple of years. I am hoping for some form of operation with my new hospital I go on the 3rd march. I am hoping they can do what they call a plantar release, so the pain in my heel is better. I dont know if its straight forward as I have plantar fibromatosis along the tendon in my foot. I will see what the hospital says. Any info would be good.

Hi Australia Calling. Have you considered low dose radiotherapy for the treatment of heel spur.Prof Seegenschmiedt devotes a chapter to this in his book Radiotherapy forNon-Malignant Disorders.

Re: Plantar fibromatosis and plantar facisitis

I have had plantar fasciitis on and off. My foot doctor finally injected steroids in the inflammed area, and that cleared it up. You may want to try this treatment before going to the drastic measure of plantar release. I also have severe plantar fascia fibromas. My foot doctor treats those by injecting Kenalog into the fibromas and follows that with steroid cream infused into the tissue with ultrasound; that really removes a lot of the inflammation, so the fibromas are smaller. After each ultrasound treatment, he puts electrical stimulation on the fascia and then ices it for 15 minutes. I have nine ultrasound/electrical stimulation/icing treatments after the injections. He says it is safer to inject only one foot at a time - to avoid tears in the fascia.

I expect to manage my plantar fibromatosis in this way for the rest of my life. Because the fascia tissue strongly reacts to being cut on (the tissue gets much larger), I'd avoid surgery if possible.

Let us know how you do.
