A member asked:
Got kidner procedure. its been 5 weeks and doctor said i can walk with boot. but when i walk i feel slight pain. is this normal? should i walk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Some pain is normal: Walking in the boot is acceptible at 5wks and mild to moderate pain is to be expexted. It takes 6-8wks for tendon to heal and bone up to 12wks. Mild pain with swelling can be normal even a year after. Although at your age faster recovery is expected.
