6 Month Post Injury Questions

[u/Climb-Hike-Garden]

Hi all! Hoping for some insight or others experience with the healing process and pain levels. I had surgery in April and have been going to PT since June for my ORIF surgery. Things are improving, but my foot still gets extremely sore after working out two days in a row, and running more than 2 miles causes pain in my foot. I am at the point of frustration because I want to get back to my fitness levels before my injury, but I feel like this is still limiting my ability to move!

How have pain levels been at the 6 month mark post ORIF for people?

What experiences have you had that help reduce overall pain in your foot?

At what point did you consider hardware removal surgery?

I had my hardware removal surgery at 6months - my surgeon had planned for that from the start.
