I have just had tarsal coalition reduction 2 and 1/2 months ago and my foot hasn't seemed to get better. I was just seen by the doctor buy he says it is still to early took xrays and said to come back in a month. I wont be able to see him till the 29th of the new year. My pain has moved from my foot to my ankle and around the heel. I am wondering if something else could be wrong. Till I see him again thou, I am in pain. I am on Vicoden and it helps only for about 4 to 6 hours if I am not on my feet. It hurts all the time, expecially when I walk around set then get up again... that is the worst! It hurts when I stand and it hurts when I lay down. When I lay down the pain seems to move up my leg to my knee (when I set too).
Does anyone know what could be wrong, if anyone has had this problem, and/or what I can do for the pain till I see the doctor again. Any info would be great.

I have a tarsal coalition too. I would say that it's best to keep taking teh painkiller and stay off it as much as possible, get some crutches if you need it, if it's bad enough.
