I started PT the next day which consisted of stretching and trying to loosen up the joint. The first week wasn't bad but the second week is when the pain came back pretty bad. I was back on round-the-clock meds for about 7 days. When I put weight on my foot, it felt like there was a bump on the bottom lateral side of my heel. After a few days of partial weight bearing, it finally went away. I'm 66 days out now and walked for the first time without crutches or the boot. Pain was really bad earlier this week and decreased by about 50% over night. Can't explain. Barely need the meds now. It still aches really bad in the mornings or when I have it in the boot and not elevated. Swells up if I have it down for a few hours. I think I could probably work as long as I have it elevated. My therapist applies kiniseo tape when after each session and I believe it helps with the swelling. I also elevate at night. The lateral side of my foot is still numb but I think it's getting better. I can feel the screws in the back of my heel with my fingers but other than that, they don't bother me.
