Pretty normal

Having got myself worried about the pain and swelling in my foot I consulted Dr Google. What I found was a discussion about recovery and someone at 11 weeks post op asking if it was normal to still have swelling and the pain in the heel.

It is! So at less than 8 weeks it's perfectly normal to still feel like there's a big rock in your shoe and have your foot swell up if you look at it funny.

So I need to reduce my expectations! Some of the contributors said they were using a compression sick to reduce swelling so I'm going to give that a go.

I'm using a simple moonboot so I don't have the option to increase cushioning that a boot with air cells offers. I might have to try and wear my boot more frequently around the house rather than hobbling around bare footed.

I am not a nice patient patient!
