    Hello. For me the swelling and pain due to the pins removal lasted about a week to 10 days but after I started walking there was a different kind of swelling and pain that can last for months. In my case it will last for about six months especially after walking.. If you are working sitting on a chair you will be good to go until July 8th. Good luck and hope you recover soon!

      oh that is not gonna be easy..My doc personally told me that there will be swelling and pain for months and when that happens I need to lift my feet up on a chair...I have to constantly walk and stand at my job for 9.5 hours a day so i'm not going back for a while 😕 i think it would be better to talk with your doctor just to be sure it's safe for you
