Hi As with everyone so glad to find this site, I had no idea there were so many people with the same problem.
I have just had my 6 week appointment and my doctor said my fusion was healing really well and I went off very happy with my aircast to partially weight bare, however it has been really really sore and I am having to use crutches as well. The doctor was surprised that I was in such pain and has just suggested that I slow down (any slower I would be stopped). The pain is particularly bad around one of the incision points, particularly to the touch and in the muscle (if you can call it muscle)just above my heal. Also struggling to sleep as its a constant throbbing ache. Feeling very sorry for myself, has anyone had the same symptoms and how did it progress.
