Metroplex Foot & Ankle

I have been in extreme pain for over the past three years. I had a severe case of Planter’s Fasciitis that was causing me to stop doing all the things I loved, working out, including lunges, yoga, running, even walking half a mile was causing me incredible pain in my heels and ball of my foot. Dr. DeYoe was the forth specialist I visited, by the time I finally found him, I was exhausted from jumping around to specialist to specialist with a prayer that someone would know what they were talking about. If you’ve ever been in pain, and had to search for a good doctor who could help, you know how very frustrating this can be.
Finally, I found Dr. DeYoe! He explained to me I was most likely the 1% of people who had a rare case of Planter’s Fasciitis that would only get worse if not fixed. Basically, my tendon was torn and so bad a bone spur had started to grow to try and reattach to the tendon, causing even more pain. He had talked to me about surgery very early on, because he knew how long I had been dealing with the problem, with no help. After roughly 4 months of wearing custom orthotics and wearing tennis shoes, I finally told Dr. DeYoe it was time for surgery. We scheduled it a month later, taking out all the gunk from my tendon and taking off the bone spur, I was in a boot for roughly 6 weeks and now I am walking with little pain. Going from a 10 on the pain scale to a 3 or 4 was an answer to my prayers!
Thank you Dr. DeYoe, for giving this 26 year old her normal life back! Within the next 3 months I will be able to go for a run without excruciating pain. I never thought I would be able to say that!
