I would like to reach out to my friend here who have helped me by "listening" so much over the past year. I had a right ankle fusion in Sept. 09, and slowly but surely I am regaining my mobility, however I still use a cane to walk (I can walk without one, but just find I am sturdier and more balanced using one).... so, my question is this.....really I have 2 questions.....first, when do you get to the point where your fused ankle does not look so swollen and does not "feel" so weird, and secondly, when should it be normal to completely taking the pain killers. I only take the percocet a few times a week, but since I did not really take any medication before the fusion this seems weird to be taking medication at all. Any input would be appreciated... thanks!
