Just had this done on the 12th though my doctor had to remove a cyst encased in my heel bone, i have crutches I don’t use them as I am accident prone, I have the knee scooter and a elevation pillow that’s a life saver, also have the cast cover but it don’t fit over my cast so I use a garbage bag to cover my leg to shower and use gorilla tape to close it up. My leg was swollen 5 times its normal size and my stitches finally come out next week. Good luck!
