Today is Day 6 after my foot surgery. My surgeon prescribed up to 8 oxycodone tablets per day, but I only took 4 tablets on Day 4 and none today. Thankfully, the swelling has gone down significantly, and my pain has been manageable. I have a little itching around the surgical area, which seems to be part of the healing process. I’ve been eating lots of fruit every day, so I haven’t experienced any constipation since the surgery. I’m using a bedside commode when needed and a walker instead of crutches, which feels safer and more comfortable for me right now. I’m also taking Vitamin C, calcium, B-complex, and Vitamin D regularly to support healing. Feeling grateful for the progress so far and looking forward to a full recovery. See less

I am SO happy to see your post!!! I had the exact same foot problems and had surgery this morning!! I’ve been wondering what the recovery looks like! So glad you are doing well!!
