Fractured my calcanium 18 months ago, no surgery but left with severe arthritic pain. Subtalar fusion carried out 3 months ago,8 weeks non weight bearing with foot elevated no swelling no pain. Last 4 weeks in aircast boot swelling and lots of pain, the pain is not arthritic but muscular/ tendon/ ligament?

I see consultant in two weeks .

From what iI can gather reading the forum this is normal progress and it can take 9 to 12 months to feel benefit, hopefully you are all correct.
