[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m PP, about surgery recovery- I went home with less pain than I went in with! It felt miraculous. That lasted about 4-5 days, then there was some aching, but minimal pain. They had told me to take narcotics the first few nights, but I did not need them. I didn’t enjoy being on crutches, but the knee scooter is really helpful. After 2 weeks, I switched to a boot- so not bad at all. Are you sure you’ll be full no - weigh bearing for the full 3 months? Being in the boot is slow at first, but pretty easy after a week.

After 8 weeks (2 w/ crutches and 6 in the boot), I got freed! That was only a few weeks ago, but going well. For me, it was easily worth the uncomfortable stage.[/quote]

The doctor told me that the post tib repair is one of the bigger surgeries. It involves harvesting a tendon from one side of my foot to graft onto the other side. It sounds major and really awful.

Appreciate the doc recommendation.[/quote]

Gotcha- well I still wouldn’t let a 3 month recovery deter you from the surgery. Being in pain daily is not worth it.[/quote]
