After 1 week

Lifestyle modifications 

• I haven't been weight bearing at all and I'm slowly getting used to not using my right leg.
• I've been using my newly bought crutches to move in and around the house. 
• However I found out that hopping around with one leg inside the house was much more convenient than using crutches. 
• I use 1 pillow to elevate my right foot when I'm sleeping as this decreases the pain and swelling.
• I stayed at home the entire time and I either order food or my friends buy take away food for me when they go out. 
• If you are living alone I highly recommend you to move somewhere with support during the first stage of your recovery process. 

Pain and swelling 

• At rest there is no pain, however when I move my fingers or my ankle joint it often get a sharp when across my mid foot region.
• My toes are still visibly swollen. 
• I took anti inflammatory pills (Etoricoxib 90mg OD) whenever the pain or the swelling was intolerable. 
• However I tried to keep the usage of anti inflammatory pills to a minimum since it might induce gastric irritation in the long run.
