I am 7 days out from foot surgery the first 4 days after surgery were EXTREMLY painful (i have had both feet operated on) I have been in bed/couch flat on back with both feet elevated at ALL times, my husband ices my feet every hr for 15 min. wed. evening which was 5 days after surgery i tried to take more steps than just the few i had been, of course you NEVER get up with out the flat shoes the dr gave you, anyways its painful and my left foot feels odd like there is a popping or a rolling sensation on the top of the foot. after the few minuts of being up I laid back down and ohh my the burning sensation started. I went to the Dr thursday he took off the orginal bandages from surgery on that was the first time i seen the incesions and stichtes, he cleaned the area stated that my surgery area looks good a little swelling but that is normal. Directed me to come home continue with feet elvated, shorts walks to rest room only, ice every hour and pain meds as directed. I can tell you this I am not a pain med person, however I can tell you that i will be using them as i have to start working on the feet cause this is painful. This is going to be a long slow recovery, but I want to make sure that I heal correctly so that I can get back into the gym in the next 3 month. I am very weak from laying and its sucks!! I hope all this is worth it in the outcome!! will update in 7 days after my next appointment!!
Sorry if you updated somewhere else - but how are you now..?
