Hi all, it's not such good news I'm afraid. I am now 13 weeks post op and the TT joint which was to be fused has a small amount of movement in it and is not healing, however, because my foot has been immobilised for so long the heel bone has decided to fuse itself! I had no idea that this joint was as bad as that! so I have also lost over 3/4s of the sideways movement.
I now have to pad around the house in my slippers in the hope that the weight and movemnt will kick start some healing, which is extreamly painful. Not only is the pain in the top, but now at back and around the bottom.
I have to go back sometime in Feburary and if it's no better a cat scan to see exactly what is going on in there. I've been told that a redo is on the cards. If it swells a lot whilst padding around I have to ring the surgoens secutary to be seen before Feb. I thought I'd leave it to next week to see if the extra swelling I have goes down, as it could be a reaction to the shock of no support.
I've also been told that driving a manual car in the future will probably be unlikely. Guess what I've got!
