Answers:

It's really a simple recovery. I don't know why your having this but from patients who have had it say usually the injury that caused it was worse than the surgery. Walking on it is the fastest road to recovery, if you baby it your only delaying the inevitable. Control your pain, take meds as prescribed and walking on it should be no biggy. Usually after day one you should be much less dependent on you crutch. Listen to your body and let your doc know what is up. He's not a mind reader and everyone heals uniquely.
