No sir

How did you do? Are you recovering faster ?

Yes and ice and compression really, really helps. I had foot surgery Monday and I've been elevating and icing and compressing religiously, my doctor told me ice for 2 hours, off for one. I go this Monday for a follow-up, I hope I've been encouraging my foot to heal as much as possible 😬

@@cdub3019 are muscle spasms normal?

@@user-rm7yc2kr6y they could be for you if you are prone to them, additionally, depending on the type of surgery and where it was located it could be a reaction of the disturbed body tissues and nerves coming back to life. I would call and ask my doctor if I were you, just to be on the safe side

@@user-rm7yc2kr6y sorry, I responded earlier but the reply didn't load, I guess. Muscle spasms may be normal for you, if you are already prone to them. Also, it could be that the muscles and nerves are reacting to being disturbed during the surgery, depending on the particular surgery and where on the leg/foot it was performed. It could also be the nerves and muscles waking back up after the nerve block wears off. However, it never hurts to detail what js happening and then communicating these concerns to your doctor. You can never be too safe when it comes to post-surgery issues.

@@cdub3019 okay thank you

Hello, I am feeling the same way. Did you ever figure out why? Pls pls pls help meeeee

I am just waiting to have mine done .. am 65

There is also saw stop tape but it's expensive and usually reserved for aqua casting. But it can be applied on a regular cotton cast making the cast removal process safer.

Exactly. I was told NOTHING

I didn’t get much direction either

I'm in a hospital bed right now with no direction my leg is completely swollen and lifeless I'm looking for a solution

@@mikemadsen7926 it sounds like they’ve probably given you a nerve block. It can take several days for it to wear off. It will be very frustrating not being able to move your foot. it will almost be painful, but more aggravating. The first couple of weeks you’re probably gonna wanna stay off of it and elevate it completely. Only getting up to use the restroom. After that, follow your doctors instructions. Some doctors want you to walk on it as much as you can. Do not overdo it. If you start walking on it, use crutches and put no weight on it to begin with. Just kind of let your foot work through the motion. Do that for for about an entire week. Then add 25% weight the next week. 50% weight the following week And keep adding until you get full weight. If it any point, it starts hurting worse then back up, let it rest a few few days and then start again putting weight on it again. It will take a frustratingly long time for it to stop hurting. it took three months before I was not constantly hurting. It took about six months before I could walk without any kind of pain. Unfortunately, they don’t explain all of this to you before surgery. But you will get better. Take your time go through the process.

@@mikemadsen7926 over the next couple of weeks to get as much sleep as you can. Your body heals while you are sleeping. I can’t tell you how important it is to get sleep. Don’t apologize for it. Nothing is more important than getting sleep. Your life will wait. You’ll be able to get back to itprioritize healing right now

Sure
