Maria Romano Mcgann D.O.'s Expert Contributions
What exercise is good for ankle pain?
Stretching your calf and hamstring can really help ankle pain. READ MORE
When should I see an orthopedist for foot pain?
You should see an orthopedist when you have tried changing your shoes and over-the-counter orthotics without any relief. READ MORE
How long does it take your Achilles tendon to heal?
This is difficult to answer. The healing times are approximately 3-6 months depending on the tear and repair (surgical vs nonoperative). Depending on your work/athletic level, people generally return to full duty between 6-12 months READ MORE
Can Haglund's deformity be cured without surgery?
Unfortunately, a Haglund's deformity is a bone problem that will not be cured without surgery. Fortunately, having a Haglund's deformity doesn't mean you need surgery. A lot of Achilles' pain can be successfully be treated conservatively with therapy and bracing. READ MORE
What is the latest treatment for sports related foot pain?
I will scope ankles, tighten ligaments, perform minimally invasive surgery. READ MORE
Residual pain from a broken heel?
Without seeing X-rays, I would say that if the patient is still active, but having some pain, cortisone injections are often possible and good pain relievers temporarily. Also bracing can also help relieve the pain and good shoes. READ MORE
How do you treat nerve damage in the foot?
We treat nerve damage by a combination approach- medications, therapy, possible concurrent treatment by pain management doctors with nerve blocks and trying to treat the reason for the nerve damage. READ MORE
What should I do if my ankle hurts after working out?
I would stop that workout and try different workouts. If all workouts hurt you, or you can't go back to the workout you want to do, I would see a physician READ MORE
Quality of stitches with Lapiplasty surgery?
Incisions take a year to make a full and complete recovery. Unfortunately it is hard to predict how skin will heal and it's impossible to do surgery without creating scars. The more you elevate your leg and use compression socks, the better the swelling will be. Don't worry, 2 months is still early in the recovery process! Hang in there. READ MORE
Why do my heels hurt when standing?
There are a lot of reasons for this. It could be plantar fasciitis, a tight Achilles/hamstring, or arthritis READ MORE
How long does it take to recover from a dislocated ankle?
This is a complicated problem. It depends on the patient but overall I'd say it takes a year to make a full and complete recovery. READ MORE
What is ankle stabilization surgery?
This is where we tighten ligaments in the ankle that have been torn READ MORE
Can you fix bunions without surgery?
No. Unfortunately bunions are caused by an underlying bony problem in your feet. There are splints and toe spacers that can be used for symptomatic relief but it won’t change the underlying condition. READ MORE
How long does it take to get full range of motion after foot surgery?
Depends on the surgery. Typically people will get their motion back around 4-8 weeks after surgery. The more involved surgeries take longer. I try to get people moving out of their splint 1 week after surgery. READ MORE
