10 Weeks post op after a Navicular fusion surgery

I had surgery for torn ligaments and chipped cartilage. Was told I could do partial weight bearing after 3 days but waited two weeks. For about two months I would try to do a little walking in a boot with walker but would have moderate pain a few hours later. My surgeon said I should continue weight bearing but it just worried me that I was delaying my recovery by stressing the ankle too much. I kept trying the partial weight bearing every few days to see if it resulted in pain. Like you, I was doing about 100 steps a day around the house. Just this last week, about 10 weeks post op, I am getting only minimal pain, so I'm going to continue and slightly increase the amount of walking each day. 

However, I have talked with others who had various types of injuries who just toughed it out and endured the pain. They also recovered. 

Hope this helps. 

I had my talo navicular fusion on June 21st. I am now back in normal shoes but still finding it quite painful to walk much and still using a crutch when out. Ankle still swells quite a bit during the day which is where my pain is. I have been told to expect swelling for at least 6 months but the pain I am getting is hindering my recovery. Its all in my ankle, not around the fusion. Grrrrrrr!
