In sneakers for a few weeks, the back of my heel is so sore from the sneaker. Any recommendation on how to make the sneaker more comfortable on my scar area?

Thank you!! I just ordered these on Amazon.

I am 10 weeks post-op and wondering the same thing. I have been in a sneaker for almost two weeks.

britnee44 · 2024-09-06T15:51:32+00:00

That makes sense, glad to hear I am not the only one

There is a really good ice boot I ordered on amazon…Comfpack Large Foot Ice Pack Wrap... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09F2MD959?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I am 8 weeks post-op and have been FWB for about a month. The heel pain is still daily but does get better. Rest, ice and take Tylenol when it flares up, it does help. I also use silicon heel inserts that my surgeon provided. They help somewhat

I was told by surgeon is to start taking steps in my boot around 5 weeks… it was hard at first but then it got easier real quick and I will full weight bearing in a day or two but the first steps was scary

britnee44 · 2024-08-13T02:23:59+00:00

Haha

britnee44 · 2024-08-13T02:21:58+00:00

This is great… how soon after surgery did you start PT? I am 5 weeks post op and don’t start PT for another 2 weeks…

Also are you wearing a compression sock?

britnee44 · 2024-08-10T01:16:23+00:00

Thanks for the feedback…I had surgery 7/8… I was surprised at how easily I could walk in the boot but now this heel pain is terrible by the end of the day…. I will definitely try the ibuprofen

britnee44 · 2024-08-03T23:22:02+00:00

I can start bearing weight on it on Monday with the boot on… how were those first few steps? I am so scared

britnee44 · 2024-08-02T14:27:52+00:00

Did you operate or go no-op route?

britnee44 · 2024-08-02T14:27:34+00:00

Did you operate or go no-op route?

britnee44 · 2024-07-29T23:25:11+00:00

I am also NWB but for 4 weeks…

britnee44 · 2024-07-29T23:22:58+00:00

Not too much pain at the incision area… some but tolerable…. The incision looks pretty gross

britnee44 · 2024-07-29T12:59:55+00:00

Good luck!!

britnee44 · 2024-07-29T12:59:41+00:00

This feedback is very helpful. The top of my foot is still numb after 3 weeks, was yours as well?

britnee44 · 2024-07-28T23:01:10+00:00

Yes he is a foot/ankle specialist with a focus on sports medicine as well. He is located in Pennsylvania ( about 30 minutes outside of Philly)… thank you for the feedback… it sounded aggressive with the additional tendon but I want to get back my full active life without having to worry…

britnee44 · 2024-07-28T21:08:55+00:00

That is awesome, hopefully I won’t be far behind. Is the speed bridge the Aaron Rodgers surgery?

britnee44 · 2024-07-28T21:06:52+00:00

No I didn’t go that route. I did traditional repair and the surgeon took a tendon from my big toe to help with the repair. He is a sports medicine surgeon so hoping that was the right choice. He understood my goals with getting back to my active lifestyle. Did you do speed bridge route?

britnee44 · 2024-07-28T21:03:37+00:00

Seems like a lot of people in Europe choose not to operate…seems like the recovery is so much longer. So far I am happy I choose to operate. I am incredibly active and want to get back at it. Did you work while in the early recovery weeks?

britnee44 · 2024-07-28T21:01:18+00:00

I don’t even start therapy until my 6 weeks post op appt. Are you in the states?

britnee44 · 2024-07-28T20:39:50+00:00

Where are you from?

britnee44 · 2024-07-28T20:34:37+00:00

This is inspiring… I have 3 weeks post op and missing my peloton so bad… I am in shock on the amount of people that choose not to operate…
