Surgeon's assistant suggested cutting and loosening the bandage. The decrease in pressure felt wonderful and significantly reduced the pain. Reduce the narcotic pain medication and added Ibuprophen. Slept pretty well last night all things considered.The blue boot is a cryocuff which keeps my foot cold. This therapy reduces inflammation, edema and hemarthrosis (blood in the joint) which is essential to good healing.
It is still quite uncomfortable to have my foot not elevated so it is a bit early to do so.
