i put weight on it because i fell off my bed and it is sore to stand up for a long time. I'm not sure if its just bruised or i messed something that they did in my surgery. i did not fall very hard. Should i be worried?

      ok you actually saw your surgeon and he or she said to ice and elevate. i encourage you to do that. if your in pain take tylenol or ibuprofin. its scary when you have surgery then you have a fall. i did a similisr deal when i had my ankle repaired with plates and screws. settle in and ice for a little then take off and go back to it and do keep it elevated. sonsorry your dealing with this. if not better in a few days i would guve them a call
