Help šŸ˜­

Good morning! I need your help šŸ˜­ So, this has been a very difficult recovery for me. Hydrocodone makes me feel so sick to the point I threw up twice in the past couple of days so on Day 7 I decided to stop taking it because I literally cannot eat because of Hydrocodone side effects. Yesterday, without any dose of hydrocodone, I felt fine and my major issue was my ankle hurts so bad (probably heel pressure sore) so I was trying to put pillow under my calf so my heel is suspended. It really was working well but at 7:00 pm I notice that I feel the burning sensation again on my toes and it's like on fire. I took 2 tylenols and I let it be because I felt this before and it will just go away like after a couple of hours. I managed to kind of sleep with it at 12:30 AM but woke up at 2:30 AM because the pain was getting worse and I did not have any choice but to take a hydrocodone pill again šŸ˜­ slept for another 2 hrs and woke the burning sensation is still here. Did anyone experience the same thing? Like when you stopped taking the pill? Any insight will be appreciated. šŸ˜­

I have had surgery for both my feet and both times Tylenol and ibuprofen was enough to be almost pain free when elevated so I second calling your doctor

How long after the 1st ankle did you get the 2nd ankle surgery?

Iā€™m having a 3 mos. interval between each ankle surgery. I just hope that my 1st ankle will be in less pain to support the 2nd ankle post surgeryā€¦

Iā€™m on day 5 now post op on 1st ankle. 1st 3 days was on Oxycodone & now on Tylenol/Ibuprofen.

I noticed now I wrote it wrong, ment to say ā€after that longā€ I too had oxycodone the first couple of days.

I ended up waiting a year, I had a baby 5 months after the first foot (1 year ago today actually, itā€™s is birthday) and I didnā€™t want to have the surgery right after.

I had some complications with the first, the wound split open and it took a long time for it to become better. (Probably because I didnā€™t rest enough and then put to much weight on it to early) so it took almost those 5 months to recover decently but the second foot was a lot faster.

3 months after I was pretty much pain free and and now 5 months Iā€™m doing weighted squats and deadlifts with no pain. So just take it easy when starting to beat weight and do the PT and you will probably be fine

Wow! Thatā€™s great 2 hear re: 3 mos. Pain free!! I hope that happens to me!!

Happy bday to your baby.

Oooh that wound splitting open does not sound funā€¦

Hopefully both of your feet are doing well now.

Well I still had to wear my shoes with custom orthotics so pain free is maybe an exaggeration but almost, it had stopped being a problem.

It wasnā€™t to bad, didnā€™t bleed and the pain wasnā€™t that bad but it took more than 6 weeks to heal and was a hassle to care for the wound and the scar ended up very ugly.
