reconstructive foot surgery what can I expect???
I am having reconstructive foot surgery in a few weeks... looking for some comments... They are taking a wedge out of my foot to bring it into allignment... putting some screws in... fixing hammer toes, and releasing the arch tendon on the bottom of my foot. Anyine had anything similar? Real curious about rehab time... time off it? Time in bed... out of work???? crutches? walking cast? thanks!

- i cant believe no one has answered this question!its been there a week well ummmm alot of pain after you have had the op for the first few days it will be hard to walk etc you wont be able to go very far! but it will be fine after about a week if not two!good luck also you are having crutches probably?you will need them!
- Talk to your doctor.He could explain it better.
- Hey man just went through it and its been a lot longer process than i thought, i had the surgery june 22 had rods and screws in for twelve weeks not the 6-8 doc said. Just started walking in tennis shoes and expect about 4-6 weeks phs therapy. Advice for the start is keep elevated, relax, treat like an injury not a vacation. Take nausea meds if any problem with antibiotic and yogurt helped alot. Morphine and percosate help but only take when needed. Just stay positive and first couple days you will be in la la land so get a good support group reach out to people its gets boring netflix is your best friend. Crutches u just get used to them and will be able do tricks with them when u r all done. The thing thats hard on me is getting strength back and doing 3 hours or exercise a day and the swelling will be for a few months even after everything is out. Any q's ask me but god luck and its bst to get done.
