5 weeks post op ATR-Boot Discomfort

Posted by xmunch18 on January 13th 2009 to Uncategorized

Hello all !! New to this site.  I recently received notification from my doctor to start FWB with the Bledsoe boot and ditch the crutches.  I feel really uncomfortable with every step I take.  Any tips on how to walk in the boot or how not to have it rub the injury area ??  I hope to get some additional ideas tomarrow when I start PT.   Thanks in advance !!
