Orthopedics in Hyeonpung, Daegu, Korea

I fell hard while walking and was bleeding a lot, so I came in urgently to get a dressing and make sure there wasn’t anything wrong. They treated me very kindly.

They say that with plantar fasciitis, a bone grows on the heel... So I feel this sharp, stabbing pain in my heel with every step, and it hurts even when I press on it. Walking is painful too, and if I leave it alone, it causes prolonged discomfort, so I've started physical therapy, including electrotherapy and warm compresses. The physical therapy seems to take about 50 minutes... The doctor prescribed painkillers for about 5 days, and funny enough, after taking them, I felt like I was cured... But once I stopped the medication, the pain returned. They said I need 6 months of physical therapy. The physical therapist is very kind and explains things well when I ask questions. The cold weather seems to be making my soles hurt even more... I'm currently in my second month of treatment with warm compresses, electrical therapy, and magnetic therapy.

They did a very thorough job. The injections didn’t hurt, the physical therapy felt great, and the hospital staff were all very kind.
