Re: Recovering from Surgery
Posted by John Hubbard on 2/02/99
I had the older style surgery on my left foot. The doctor I used only does this type of oper. The incision in between the arch and the heel, right on the bottom and is approx 1"long. So far I am pleased with the results in that I can put almost all of my weight on it. I am still required to use crutches and I assume will for another week or two. For the first two weeks I was using a walker that really helped more so than crutches. Each week I am supposed to put 15% weight on the foot. The fourth week - 60% etc. There was minimal swelling and bruising. I am still off work and will be for another 2-3 weeks. I no longer get the constant throbing/aching I was plaqued with for so long. If anyone needs more info - advise.
