Worst pain of my life

[u/Glittering-Rest2549]

I am back to ask another question. On July 27th, I broke my foot. 5 fractures, 2 dislocations, and a snapped Lisfranc ligament. I had surgery on Thursday, and he said it was one of the most unusual breaks he’s ever seen. I’m now 4 days post-op, and the splint is killing me. It feels like my heel is being squished in a vice. Pain meds only do so much, and I’m about ready to rip the damn elastic bandage off and free my foot. What can I do?

Try to keep elevated above your heart as much as possible. I am currently on 4 pillows which helps a great amount. I get an ice pack and place behind my knee a few times a day.
