When can I take off the boot to walk?
Posted , 3 users are following.
Okay so 3 weeks ago I was given a CAM walking boot by my OP doctor. X-Ray show ankle bones healing after 6 weeks in a cast. He said I be on a boot for 3 weeks and be off when I see him again for follow up appointment. I can walk with the boot, using a walker to get around. However hurricane Harvey flooded my clinic and my appointment was moved up in 2 weeks, until September 22. My ankle is healthy, no longer hurt at all and now I want to be off the boot to start walking again. I try calling back but no response, so I ask this for advice, should walk without the boot since my doctor said be off in 3 weeks?

Hi Selirim! If I were you, I would wait until you see your doctor. Of course if you can't get an appointment for weeks; then that is a different story. I have been in a cast for nearly 6 weeks. It is due to come off soon, but I am prepared to keep it on for longer if the doctor says so.

Hi Selerim! I hope you are having a good day. I am due to either get an X-ray, then get the cast off or get an X-ray and not get the cast off yet, or; just get the cast off. This happens on Wednesday. The weird thing is I am used to my cast now and actually like it, so, if it takes longer, that is ok😐
