I am 41 and had this surgery 2 1/2 weeks ago. I have a high pain tolerance. The pain is really bad the first week. Also it is non weight bearing so coming home from hospital was very difficult first day with steps. I am getting a little better on crutches, have a knee scooter, and a wheel chair. You will need someone at home with you. I am looking forward to starting PT. I do drive just past few days but it is my left foot. If it is your right foot probably no driving for a few months. It is a tough surgery but the pain I was in prior was terrible so hoping long haul will be ok! Good luck!
