Hi all. I'm 12 weeks post op and have been back to work for two weeks. I had my first proper night out this weekend and although wasn't in fancy shoes just a flat pump.

I don't have any major pain the odd twinge but at the end of the day my foot does ache but my really question is the swelling. My foot is still puffy and numb along my scar. I try and rest it and keep it up at the end of the day.

How is everyone at this point? my notes after the surgery did say swelling can occur months after op but it's starting to get to me

Help please!!

    Girl I had the same problem with the splint, and the swelling has come down on the foot but that bone is still puffy. Doctor told me 3 months to 6 month. smh
