Left Foot soul feels Tight but no pain why?

This issue has been going on for a month now. I had some surgery and right after my leg hurt then it stopped and my foot issue started.  I went to my primary on advise from my surgeon. She thinks its inflamation. She first thought blood clot but ruled that out.  The foot feels tight from mid part of foot to the toes. Especially the small toe area.  I asked a doctor online about it and thinks it might be Tight Fascia.  Not sure.  Wondering if somene else has something simalar and got a diagnosis. I am seeing an Orthapedic doctor shortly I don’t understand what it is. I ca not take onflamitary medication because of stomach issues.

Hi and welcome,

It's possibly a post surgery neurological issue eg Peripheral neuropathy but it's just as likely to be something like a 'tight fascia' issue..

"When fascia is healthy it is smooth and slides freely, which allows for easy, unrestricted movement.  Unfortunately, fascia can get tight just like our muscles. Many things can lead to this tightness, and thickening of our fascia.  Lack of activity of an area can cause your fascia to ‘lock down’, and become almost cement-like.  A good example of this would be after having shoulder surgery.  Most often post-op, the arm must be held in a sling, and not be moved for an extended period of time.  Fibers of fascia are continuously laid down in this area of injury.  Once the area has healed enough so that movement can occur, it is sometimes too tight, and painful for the person to move the arm.  The fascia has just become too thick, and restricted.  This particular condition is called “frozen shoulder”, but it can happen anywhere in the body if we restrict movement."
