Could you walk without pain after the first two weeks?

No, absolutely not! But eventually, yes.

The first week was tough but I could manage. I was worried about night time trips to the bathroom, but I managed. Honestly the first couple of days weren’t easy but I was able to get up on my own with a walker. I also had my husband and daughter to help me out.
Make sure you ice and elevate.
I had a lot of swelling all the way down to my feet on days 2-5. I was probably doing too much. Take it easy that first week!
