    Ankle Dingo dad in recovery from TAR

    @Iski How are you? I am seeing a Podiatrist tomorrow. I hope this dr can provide knowledge and care for my condition. I "think" I'm dealing with more CRPS issues than general joint replacement. But, I just don't know. My hope is that a different type of Dr will be more helpful than my ortho...

    Ankle Freedom Leg device

    I tried a device called "i-walk" took a while to get used to using it. It put a lot of stress on other body parts. I stopped using it when I had my TAR. Too risky to fall. plus I had to recover from the surgery. It would have caused too much swelling. Jery

    @Lindylee I'm glad to hear that you are doing well. When I had my calcaneous talus fusion done on June 1 just prior to TAR, I think I remember partial weight bearing began at 6 wks post op. things progressed well after that. I wish you well...
