    Hi Robin! 

    I hate wearing the boot. It kills my ankle as well. But my doctor said I have to wear it, to make my toes more upright and strengthen the back of the ankle. 

    As I'm learning on this site, the ankle is the worst joint to break or sprain. 

    It seems to have the longest recovery time. 

    Hope you feel better soon.

      When I had TAR I found the hospital supplied boot very uncomfortable so bought an Aircast boot off Ebay for not much. It was so much more comfortable.

      Cheers Richard
