Hello, I am going through the same. As soon as i attempt to walk in the boot the pain is severe and then the swelling begins. I am on day 4 of trying and failing. i know its been years for you but do you remember how long it took for you to be able to tolerate to boot ? Did you wait additional weeks before trying to walk in the boot until it was no longer painful? Did you push through the pain?
