Thanks everyone for your advice and stories! I'm 19 years old and just had subtalar fusion surgery performed 8 days ago. Unfortunately this was my only option. I've been having serious pain, which I know is normal, but I keep getting nervous that it isn't healing correctly. My doctor told me the first two weeks is the most critical point of healing, and I go in for x-rays in 6 days to find out if it is healing correctly. Wish me luck! And it's nice to know I'm not the only person my age with degenerative arthritis and going through this operation! Gives me hope.
