I had a subtalar fusion on nov. 17th, 2014 had a soft cast on for two weeks, then had a hard cast on for a month. Currently i am in a walking boot and just started weight bearing again. I shattered my talus joint in 2011 and had surgery to repair it however i developed arthritis pretty quickly and broke three of the screws hence part of the reason for me moving forward with having the fusion. I am still having pain especially in my Achilles area. I have been on narcotics for three years and have asked to be weaned down however i finding that this surgery provided so far little to no improvement from the pain i was experiencing before this fusion. I am very fearful that i went forward with this surgery.
