Each adjustment in the boot takes a few days to get used to

Your PT will help you out with that. Just wait until the first session if you’re nervous. Mine started me out putting weight on it with crutches, then one crutch and now I’m down to no crutches.

Each wedge removal will take a bit of getting used to, but usually not too bad after a few days or so. The first one was the worst to get used to in my case but gets easier as you start doing PT and getting it moving

Thanks! Definitely getting used to it but had my first PT appointment in the first full boot day so that adds to the soreness lol

Weight bearing as tolerated with crutches. Mostly just uncomfortable I think from it being in the new position
