Bone on bone ankle.
What did your pain or other symptoms prevent you from doing?
I had to take pain medicine daily. I could not walk fast and even had pain while walking.
Why did you choose Dr. Neufeld and Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Center?
Consumer Reports had an article listing the best doctor for ankle replacement and Dr. Neufeld was the top doctor with a procedure that had wonderful success. I wouldn’t do it before because the success was not there.
What procedure/treatment did you have done?
Achilles tendon repair.
I had it done on July 5th and by September I was walking with no aids. Flew (on a plane – haha) to Europe and we took a two-week tour of four countries with no pain whatsoever and with quite a lot of walking.
Do you have any advice for other patients?
I definitely recommend that they have this procedure done. It is wonderful to be able to walk quickly with no pain and I have been exercising also without pain. I am 77 and was 75 when I had this done. I am unbelievably pleased with this operation. And to make it even better, Dr. Neufeld has a great sense of humor (proper) and I cannot say enough about this operation.
