Hello! Almost 3 weeks since surgery. Went back to work. (Office job) Foot on an upside down garbage can like 24" tall. 2 hrs in and it swelled right up. Took the boot off to see if that would help. I have a pin in my 2nd toe so I was concerned I would hit it. No go. Called Dr & they sent me home & back on FMLA. So frustrating How did any of you go back to work & when? Mentally I am ready.
