I had a posterior Tibial tendon transplant, ankle fusion , heel resection, lengthening of my calf muscle? and ankle fusion on March 12, 2020.
I’m doing pretty well but I have some mild swelling and tingling (these go hand in hand). I need to know what to do when it’s swells and tingles? I tend to ice it and elevate it but I need to know if I can walk on it for exercise or do I get the swelling down first? Do I continue those exercises and massages

Hi,
The ice and elevation are great and I did this for ages after my surgery. Any other advice needs to come from your doctor or physio. Everyone is different and recovery is not a one size fits all. All the best. Cheers. Brian
