1st week post op.
July 6, 2011 by crutchman
The first 4 days are the most painful 2nd the 3rd are the worst as the anesthetic wares off pain will set in. They gave me paracetamol , ibuprofen and tramadol. I never needed to take tramadol as the pain was always bearable.
Now i’m 7 days post op and so far it seems the worst is over.I’m feeling better every day. I was placed on half cast 3 inches below the knee from the chin all the way to the end of my foot below the toes leaving the calf and AT area un-cast. I like it because you can place ice right on the AT to alleviate the pain and burning sensation. The drawback is that the cast becomes a bit loose and during sleep the foot has space to move in the wrong range of motion that can be very painful . Solution I sleep with my leg bent from the knee to tighten the cast.
Days 4 to 7 pain will start to gradually subside and gradually become more comfortable walking on crutches with less pain and inflammation when blood rushes back down to you foot when its not elevated.
according to my specialist I expected to return to jogging at 3 months and running / jumping sports in 6 months. Semi-aggressive i guess compared to what i hear on different blogs.
Word of advice keep leg elevated as much as possible during the first two weeks post op.
You’re right crutchman, elevation makes a HUGE difference!
Sorry to hear you joined the club.
I bought 18 inch cube from Dunelm. Works well for elevation in bed on couch etc. I reckon less swelling and need for elevation if no surgery…
Physio may be more useful in giving advice about when to progress later in rehab. Join a gym if not already a member?
