At 5 weeks post op I am doing well. I am in a cam boot walker for one more week. I have no pain with walking. The only time I have pain is first thing in the morning. One thing I've not seen mentioned, is a physical therapy technique called incision mobilization. My PT used a cream and used cross incision massage for five minutes. I do it twice a day with baby oil gel with aloe. It helps prevent the formation of scar tissue that will cause pain. Before he started me on it, it felt like I was walking on a pencil. Since I've been doing it, that is all gone. I'm anxious to be out of this boot and into a shoe. I begged yesterday but no go. My doctor is VERY conservative, but like his nurse says, he gets very good results. Lyn
