You need to call your doctor and probably be seen ASAP to be certain you do not have an infection. If you were sent home weight-bearing then it really should not be unbearable to walk or hot to touch. So, call the surgeon and go over these symptoms-your surgeon will likely want to see and evaluate your foot. Good luck to you!

I cannot imagine weight bearing with such a surgery as quick as one week. Should be casted and not weight bearing for a minimum 4-6 weeks . Report back to the surgeon. If you have concerns seek 2nd opinion .
