I had my left ankle fusion in Oct 2014, was in a cast non weight bearing for 12 weeks. Now I am am in a boot for 8 weeks with 50% weight bearing. I am in so much pain, is this right? My left knee is also hurting, at first I thought this was due to my left leg being higher, went to PT and was told to wear a higher shoe on the right , helped a little, then I went and got a lift for right shoe, but I am still is so much pain. I don't take any pain med and was wonder if I should. Any advise? Should I ask my doctor for pain meds? Is my knee ok, I don't know what to do.
