I have been doing my physio exercises more regularly and am beginning to see benefits. My foot is able to move better and further before it hurts and some flexibility is returning. I am still on Ibruprofen in the morning and try not to do too much. Following the advice of the physio, I am trying to keep my foot up more and rest if not due to do something in the following half an hour.
It's difficult to see how far this recovery will go at the moment. I am able to walk, but still prefer to use a stick if a short journey or crutches for longer walking or uneven ground. I know that it can take a long time to heal - many people have told me at least six months and at the moment it has been around 16 weeks. My foot is still prone to swelling if used too much and it can still be painful to walk, but I do feel that it is better than it was before the surgery.
Time will tell if this will improve at all.
