Is it supposed to hurt this bad?
Hey y’all, I had a full tear and am roughly 2.5 weeks post op. They got me out the cast and into the boot with wedges, and I can’t sleep. The back of my foot hurts so bad, switching between a burning and a stinging, and goes from my heel to my incision. Now I don’t know if I’m being a baby about it, but I can feel the pain even after taking pain killers they had prescribed me earlier that I didn’t take. Post op I didn’t have much pain, so I saved the meds for future pain and I’m worried this is serious if I can still feel it. I took the damn thing off and it still hurts, just less. I’m elevating, cushioning the incision sight, taking the meds, I just don’t know what to do; is this something worth telling the doctor about or should I just tough it till it gets better? I don’t know if these factors affect my recovery, but I am a teen athlete and I am supposed to be no weight bearing for at least like another 2 weeks.
