Today is the first day that I have not used my crutches at all. 13 days ago I was NWB in a cast. So that makes it FWB in a boot @ 7.5 weeks post op. I see that a lot of people have experienced swelling, soreness, etc. I have had very little swelling or soreness. I haven’t taken any pain killers since two days post op. The Doc said I could sleep with out the boot, but I toss and turn a lot so I went and got a small plastic brace that lays on my shin and top of foot, Its held in place with an ACE bandage. Not sure it really does anything other than give me a piece of mind. I don’t go back to Doc for another 2.5 weeks, So all I have to do in the mean time is protect it with the boot and get better at walking.
