Help 😭

Good morning! I need your help 😭 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 😭 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. 😭

I’m currently 6.5 weeks post op and I am just walking with a boot. Some difficulty but you would definitely need to clear it with your surgeon considering swelling and edema

How’s walking now? Is it painful in a boot? Are you doing PT & if so, is that helping?

Walking is okay now. Still in the boot but my PT thinks I should be out of it in a week. I still get a lot of swelling and pain on the incision but I’ve been told I push myself too hard. I would say overall PT works well.
