Finally after watching video’s I found one that says yes. The morning’s are my worst. It takes me about an hour to get functioning even when I put my shoes on. No my other foot tendon is sore. I believe due to the weight shift. I’m trying not to do surgery but I don’t know how to get rid of the spur.
I had this surgery six weeks ago. My Achilles tendon wasn't detached. It was sliced in half and the heel spur and Hanglund's deformity was removed. My doctor trained under Dr. Andrews...the best sport's medicine doctor in the country. Alabama!
Been dealing with this for 6 years, now it’s in my other foot! Slicing the tendon seems to be the best idea yet. I won’t let them remove and reattach it because of the 6 month or more recovery.
I hope you will confirm my understanding of what your video SEEMS to say rules out a minimally invasive surgical (MIS) approach: If I understand you correctly, MIS was not judged appropriate here because, "the tendon is fairly significantly tethered with the spur." It is not merely that both conditions (heel spur and Haglund's Deformity) are present that rules out MIS; instead, the discriminator is 'significant tethering of the tendon with the spur,' which is what requires the open approach because it requires moving the tendon forward (employing a Murphy's procedure and re-tacking down the tendon, in effect lengthening the tendon). Yes? Regardless, thank you for perhaps answering the question foremost in my mind, upon having learned (after several years of pain) that I have BOTH a heel spur AND Haglund's Deformity. I had hoped to find a surgeon who would employ minimally invasive techniques to deal with both problems, as I am a believer in the better outcomes and faster healing from such approaches as a general rule. So, I've been investigating to learn when such techniques are and are not recommended. (Not the answer I'd hoped for, if so, but one that would provides me your concurrence with, and my own acceptance of the open procedure now being recommended to me by my surgeon.)
Great video but you didn’t state how long is the recovery for 1 removal or the 2in 1 can you please let me know I am in severe pain and will be visiting foot Dr soon. Thanks.
Can this surgery be done without detaching and re-attaching the Achilles tendon? My fear is that I'll never be the same after that. Granted, I'm not a spring chicken, so maybe that doesn't really matter.
It's been 5 months . Good days and bad days. I've actually had some pain free days. I've lost 27 pounds on my way to 60!!! I hope the weight loss helps.
How long is down time? I’m 5’”8 240 lbs. I was told by a very young foot Dr that I need to lose weight first. Is that true? I injured my foot by slamming it into concrete steps with open toe sandals a few years ago. I swear I felt every bone in my foot slam to the back of my heel. Now I have this as well as a plantar spur developing.
I dont feel pain while normal activity, but when i play soccer , omg it is very sharp pain. Doctor told me not to play. Really there is no fix for this. Im 29, 6.1 inch , 80 kg , fit guy. Reply will be appreciate
That's my horrible pain . I have been to many doctors some say we have to remove the spur and it a safe surgery and other want to remove spur and Fixing the Achilles tendon with screws and other advice me to not to do this surgery justified that no matter the it goes right my condition then will be worst from mine now . I do the shocking waves and help a while but no progress and sur go bigger. I'm not sure what I can do this a pain in my lower body littery.

I have this and pain is killing me :( u know any thing that's make pain go away just little bit
How's recovery going?

How old are you, and how did the recovery go? Scary to think to cut the achilleas tendon in half! Ouch!
Best doctor ever!

I’m in the same boat, doc says he’s coming in from the side. Detaching and reattaching. Trying to find a video on how that’s done.

This x-ray looks just like mine, have been dealing with pain for a year

Just had my surgery. No weight on foot for 10 days. So far my pain in very minimal. On to REHAB!!
Did they detach ?
They opened my Achilles like a door and removed the spur.
How are you doing now? I want to go back to running one day. My pain after sleeping or resting is unbearable!
