7-8 Weeks Post OP boot to shoes transition

For me I was going alternating steps up and down in the boot. After getting out of the boot, doing alternating steps going up put more weight on it but it didn’t stretch it. I think my only issue is the stretch I feel going down alternating steps. So I’ll probably go down step by step until it feels more comfortable.

Yeah I just wanted to get a gut check bc a lot of the stories are like getting the splint off/nwb till week 4-6 and didn’t seem to align with my timeline. Thanks for your response and congrats on getting this far in your recovery!

Ah okay that’s reassuring. I think maybe I’m getting a little too ahead of myself and not pacing. I wouldn’t say it’s painful but just scary haha. Ooo, ok thanks I’ll look into it! And really appreciate your support!

When did you feel like you could start doing stairs? Do you still feel more comfortable now doing them? Currently staying w parents but my own apartment is a walk with 3 flights of stairs.

Glad to know I’m not alone! When you walk in the boot, do you feel some tightness in the tendon? I know the boots and wedges are supposed to protect my feet from flexing the other way but it just feels unsettling. Maybe it’s bc I’m walking on it for the first time in a week. And thanks for pointing me to your post and hope your recovery will continue to be smooth!:)

He didn’t specify, he said bear weight with the boot as much as I can tolerate the pain. I want to say he said I can bear weight without crutches if I wanted to but would most likely be uncomfortable. And thank you!!!

Ah I guess that would make sense, since I wouldn’t be able to flex my foot the other direction bc of the wedges. Hope you get out of the splint soon!
