    Ankle Dingo dad in recovery from TAR

    I'm 9 years postop for TAR. My surgeon told me from the start not to complain till after the first year. After the first year, I didn't limp anymore. I have no regrets about having the surgery. I still have a little bit of nerve issues but overall, it's much better than the pain I was in before.
