Ask your surgeon.: Much will depend on if you are to continue with NWB for the duration or will PWB be allowed some time within the next 4 weeks. 7 weeks of NWB may cause the leg muscles to become weaker due to the disuse. The foot may also swell when weight bearing is started. This is also an effect of not prolonged non weight bearing. Your surgeon might have already explained just what to expect post operatively.
