I have a pain from heel to the ball of my foot it feels like tendon tightening up and makes it hard to put my foot flat on the floor... I have tried doing calf raises and stretches. . but still sore. .. anyone else had this. .. Mary 13 was post TKR. ..
Could it be plantar fasciitis?

I'd put up the link to other sites but they'll disappear. They all make it sound as if it is just one spot that hurts but it can feel sore all along your instep.
Hi Mary
have you been to see your GP .
I'm getting fed up of waking up with new pains in strange places
Jean
I do wonder how much those sort of pains are to do with the change in the way you walk after the surgery. I have a form of rheumatism/arthritis and before it was recognised and treated the stiffness and joint pain made my walking most peculiar! That improved initially and then I tore the ligaments in my good knee (not the one i had surgery on years ago, not a TKR). Later I developed an achilles tendon problem and was on crutches - and a couple of months later my back just seized up completely and I couldn't move at all. It took a year to sort as the quick method resulted in me having a severe drug reaction - but since the back is back to near enough right everything else hurts less and I can walk better.
But I will echo the being fed up with a new pain on a weekly basis!!!!
Hi Mary do you have shoes or trainers that are cushioned? I work in a sports shop and we sell trainers. A few people come in worth plantar fascitis and find relief with insoles or trainers with good cushioning. As it's an inflammation you get a king of burning soreness and you need to support the foot
strangely enough.. my mum has plantar fascitis and i just bought her special insoles. .. i will get myself some. .. Thanks for the advice. .
