I had my ankle fusion on August 6th, and it included a bone graft taken from my tibia. The pain is not bad at 2+ weeks. There is a lot of swelling when I sit up for any length of time. My biggest issue is getting mobile. I can use a walker and a wheelchair. I am like a beached whale on crutches. Am wondering how long it takes to be able to use those crutches well. My greatest challenge this week is to go back to the doctor's to have stitches removed. I have four steps to leave my house.
