I Had calcaneus surgery where plates and screws be inserted on 4/9/06.non weight attitude for 3 months.?
now back at work since 5/3/07 and still sensation aches and pains in my foot, is this regular ? I am on my feet 8 hours a afternoon and my foot and calf swell up like a balloon.
Answer:
Intense dull pain from fibula break...do I take sour ACE bandage?
It roughly takes one full year for total medicinal to occur within both soft tissue and bone.I would DEFINITELY call the doctor who perform the surgery and tell him roughly speaking the swelling. That should not be happening to that extent. Very minor swelling is not unheard of though
Ask the doctor more or less wearing TEDS compression hose. They are either knees high or thigh high compression socks or stockings that will relieve with the return of blood final up the legs, and will help stop the swelling, and your legs will surface less tired at the running out of the day.
Then at night/evening achieve off your foot, and elevate them up on pillows.
If you shattered your calcaneus, aches and pains may be near you for a LONG time.
GOOD LUCK!!
