Calcaneous Fracture Rehab

I had ORIF July 31, for my heel which I broke July 19.  11 screws and a plate. The doc cleared me to WB Sept 17, 7 weeks post op.  He also said he wanted me to get rid of the crutches in 5-6 days.  I started putting pressure on the foot (wearing an air cast/boot) over the past 2 days.  I am now in pain feeling like I rebroke some of the bone where he put one of the screws.  

Everyone heals differently.  Was 7 weeks post op too soon for WB?

Hi

Following ankle surgery, partial weight bearing can be done after 04 weeks (in brace or cast), sedentary work after 10 weeks and heavy work after 03 months. (However this varies greatly from patient to patient and also depends upon the type of fracture/surgery).

You should consult your doctor for a repeat xray/examination to find out a cause for the pain. You can discuss with him about Orthotic Devices (heel inserts) that you might use for the pain.

Do write in after your consultation with the doctor.
Regards.
