Ankle surgery

Posted , 9 users are following.

I am at 6 weeks after ankle surgery . I was supposed to have my 6 weeks appointment last Wednesday but it was cancelled because we had a hurricane on the way . I will see the doctor on Wednesday . I'm just feeling that maybe I'm not coming along as I should . I still have a lot of pain and swelling and I'm non-weight-bearing. I do have a boot. I have good days and bad days but sometimes the pain is still really bad and I would have thought by now that it would be better.

    wow it sounds like you're doing great though. I have screws and a plate so I'm not sure if that's the same thing. I am going to the doctor tomorrow so hopefully I will be able to start putting some weight on my foot. We'll see what they say. good luck and thank you so much.

    I just saw the doctor today and they told me I can start walking using the boot. I'm very awkward at it and a little slow well actually very slow right now I am using crutches to help me. I would not do anything without checking with the doctor first. The worst thing that could happen is you try to do something too soon and then you make it worse.
