[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 545668, member: 84"] Nancy the shoe for the surgery is probably throwing off your gait and you're bracing your good foot differently on the floor to maintain balance. You've over used muscles you don't normally use that way. Try soaking your good foot in a warm/hot Epsom salt bath. When starting off without the crutches......do so in short intervals at first, you start feeling a strain on the good foot, go back to using the crutches and give it a chance to rest (sometimes 1 crutch will do) When it's rested, you can give it another go. I had the same issue when I broke all the bones in my right foot and the doctor gave me a stupid canvas/wooden soled "boot" to wear. Once I could tolerate more pressure on the bad foot, the muscle knots and cramps on the good foot was less and less. What I wasn't prepared for was when the boot came off and I had to work through this a 2nd time in bare feet on the floor, but that was a much faster transition. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
