A member asked:

I had great toe fusion yesterday. i am an elementary teacher. i bought a knee walker to use but still wondered how soon i could safely return to work?

You need to discuss: This with your surgeon and no one else. Only, they know the quality of your bone, the type of fixation used etc etc. You would not want to jeoperdize your outcome at this point. Speedy recovery.
