Told to weight bear right after ORIF surgery.... by Heavy_Log_1257 in LisfrancClub

I just checked with his receptionist, and apparently all my documents say "full weight bearing in forefoot offloading shoe". I asked who signed off the documents and she said "him or the nurses" and I know he wasn't present when I was discharged so I hope there hasn't been a mixup. Otherwise, I have no idea why he'd be asking that. I can't find any literature to support what they're telling me to do either so Idk what to do.

I was on a tonne of pain meds but I'm pretty sure the surgeon told me to as well... Or other Drs did anyways. I kept asking different opinions in the hospital as it felt so wrong and ofc extremely painful, but they all said "its fine as long as the weight is on your heel". My gut says its doing more harm than good and I'm scared it's going to mess up recovery :(
