I recently had trimalleolar surgery on 5/24 and was put in a splint. Today, I got my splint off and stitches out and into a cast for 4 weeks. Before my surgery while waiting for surgery, I was in a boot and using the knee scooter was not painful. However, I couldnt use the knee scooter with my splint because of the pressure and pain it put on my ankle.. I tried it again today with my new lighter cast and had the same problem... My question is: Has anyone else had this problem before? How do I fix it? Does the pain lessen after first getting cast put on? I really don’t want to be on crutches and wheelchair for 4 more weeks 😔 Thanks!

    be careful

    i once tested a "knee scooter" and it was just to painful, same thing with a "walker brace" that tied to the knee. at same time i was ok with crutches.

    i learned by experience that sharp pains are a signal that something is wrong.
