I had it 4 years ago now, I walk fine but have problems on lumpy ground and use ankle support as a precaution.

[@terrykerslake2675]

I had mine done 10 years ago. Yes with uneven ground and don’t even dare to roll it as the pain is intense.

[@pawanrandhawa6348]

I had the same surgery 9 months back , plate and 10 screws. It really hurts ......worst bone to break

[@pawanrandhawa6348]

Recovery is not possible in this case... disability for whole life.. better to die

I shattered both of my heel bones four years ago. I stepped off a 40ft bridge (stress from education), I remember feeling my heels just explode to bits. Then I had subtalar fusions in both feet. I kinda wish I'd had this surgery instead because this dosent fuse up your joints. This just fixes the bone back together all be it metal inside your body. It dosent fuse up your joints - I just wish I could have the subtalar joints back again.

I just had this surgery on July 15th, I fell off of my roof at home with my backpack blower on my back and shattered my heel in 10 pieces. I just got my cast off about 10 days ago and am wearing a compression sock with an aircast. I should get the all-clear to put weight on my foot again on October 1st. Hoping someday I will be able to walk normally and get back to the things I love doing. I can't imagine shattering both heels, I truly feel for you and wish you the best ❤
