Seven weeks post op second fussion same ankle weight bearing with walker and training shoe not much swelling lots of pain though. Thank you all for your input on this site. It really is helpful to know what to expect in the future.
Hi Ed,
Good luck on your 2nd ankle fusion. I'm one year out and I did so much today! I'm wishing you total success with yours now. I took calcium tablets. That's probably the only thing that I haven't seen mentioned on this informative blog forum. Best of luck! Yvonne
I know your pain
I had my ankle repair 6 months ago but my aunt had her second ankle fusion 3 days ago. Ice and rest. Be gentle with yourself
Keep ontop of the pain meds and always take the next dose 20-30 min before it's due. Listen to guided mediation cds or on line sites. for pain relief. Also large amounts of fruit and veggies help with the bodies detox of the pain meds and keep fibre levels high do you don't end up with IG issues.
Good luck
