There were 7 stitches on the vertical cut and three stitches on the horizontal cut. The doctor was able to repair the minicus by using two stitches- reason for the no weight bearing for a while.
12 hours after the surgery thats when the anesthesia wore off, i experience the worst possible pain i have ever felt next to labor pains. This lasted for almost 5 hrs and the pain killers didn’t do any good. After that things have been much much better.
It's been 3 weeks since the surgery. I'm still not back at work- requested an additional week off. It's been very painful without the pain killers especially at night when I'm asleep. Been working with a PT two days a week and own exercises at home.
Finally off the crutches and able to walk with just the brace straight leg. No weight bearing on bended knees allow.
Poor Husband has to help out alot since I've been on the crutches. Would of been a worse recovery without his help:<))
