Ankle surgery PLEASE HELP PLEASE

Hi erin have you been back to the doctor yet. Would like to hear what he said. X

Erin are you okay?. We are all keen to know how you got on. Assuming you went to the Hospital.

Good Luck. :+)

Hello all, first let start by saying thank you all so much for taking the time to answer me 😊. I did go to er and a X-ray was done to make sure nothing was out of place, it turns out I have a 3 centimeter cyst on my achilles tendon which developed cause of injury and surgery. I was told cyst will subside by itself once foot starts to heal and the split was adjusted, along with a stronger antibiotic. The pain has lowered and is back to now being controlled by the pain meds thank god. Again thank you all so much for taking your time to help me it is appreciated more than you know 😊. God bless and great health in future 😊💜.

Go to the hospital soon as you can. Get it checked. If the back slab is too tight it will do damage. Elevate, ice even on top, stay off the leg, but get back to the hospital/doctor urgently.

Glad to hear you are doing better! Good luck with further recovery.

Hi Erin, how is the recovery going? You must've been in a serious state when you got to Hospital.

I've just been away for the night so see family. What a struggle. No raised chair, toilet seat, bed lifter, shower slide, chair lift etc. All things that helpy life go as smoothly as possible. I was way out of my post break/surgery comfort zone.

Was great to have a change of scenery though!

Hello 2tituscanby1

Recovery is rough I am usually an on the go person. I am a phlebotomist and I'm assistant chief of a volunteer ambulance. So I could be up on calls for 911. It is probably a good thing I'm not allowed out of bed and there is pain. Because I volunteer for the ambulance company the department allowed me to borrow a potty chair to keep in my room and someone just dropped off a shower chair which I will attempt tomorrow to use 😊. I can not get that leg went but the rest of me needs a shower badly. The dr at the emergency room said I must be in pain he offered an additional pain med, I told them no if they fix issue I would be fine. I saw my surgeon and he apologized about the pain (not his fault) and all is healing well now 😊. I will say laying in bed all day except to use potty is boring haha and my butt is getting sore I try to roll but makes ankle hurt so one day at a time and one day soon I'll be up and in a walking boot. The light at the end is getting closer 😊. Thank you for asking 😊
